As a result, adults with developmental disabilities are more involved in their communities than ever before. However, now is the time to take a look at how we can collectively achieve even greater positive outcomes for individuals.

This transformation has been informed through a number of avenues including Alberta’s Social Policy Framework, Results-Based Budgeting and your ongoing involvement and feedback through various PDD consultations.
