In doing so, the Kansas Council on Developmental Disabilities (KCDD) has established three specific objectives:
- 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.
- Work collaboratively to increase the number of individuals with I/DD active in public policy, advocacy, cross-disability and culturally diverse leadership activities.
- 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.
