The Pennsylvania Developmental Disabilities Council is a group made up of people with disabilities, family members, advocates, and cabinet secretary representatives who work to create favorable conditions for people with developmental disabilities and their families in the Commonwealth. Created and funded by federal law and appointed by the Governor, the Council is both a planning and advisory group and a funding body for new approaches to systems change, advocacy and capacity building for people with disabilities and the public, social and cultural systems that surround them.
