Welcome to the Maryland Department of Disabilities
Message from Secretary Catherine Raggio
In his inaugural address, Governor O’Malley shared his vision of “One Maryland,” a Maryland where we are united by our belief in the dignity of every individual; united by our responsibility to advance the common good; and united in our understanding that what we choose to do in our own lifetime matters.
The Maryland Department of Disabilities strives to make the Governor’s vision into reality for every Marylander with a disability. When our citizens with disabilities fully participate in their communities, our entire state is stronger. To that end, the Department, in partnership with other State agencies, works to remove barriers for people with disabilities and create new opportunities in education, employment, housing and transportation.
