Texas Council for Developmental Disabilities

The Texas Council for Developmental Disabilities is a 27-member board dedicated to ensuring that all Texans with developmental disabilities, about 423,500 individuals, have the opportunity to be independent, productive and valued members of their communities. Using a variety of methods, the Council works to:

  • Ensure that the service delivery system provides comprehensive services and supports that meet people's needs, are easy to access and are cost effective
  • Improve people's understanding of disability issues

Council members include:

  • individuals with developmental disabilities
  • parents and guardians, as appointed by the governor
  • representatives from each major state agency that serves people with developmental disabilities
  • representatives from the state's protection and advocacy system (Advocacy, Inc.), the two university centers for excellence in developmental disabilities
  • local organizations
