KCDD is focusing on the prevention of abuse and assuring quality care for people with disabilities in healthcare, schools, group homes and day care settings.

About quality care

In doing so, the Kansas Council on Developmental Disabilities (KCDD) has established three specific objectives:

  1. Increase the number of self-advocates with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) who have participated in leadership training so they can engage in personal, collaborative and civic leadership.
  2. Work collaboratively to increase the number of individuals with I/DD active in public policy, advocacy, cross-disability and culturally diverse leadership activities.
  3. Work collaboratively to increase the use of best practices research, resources and self- advocacy tools and information for self-advocates, their families and support networks.
