The Persons with Developmental Disabilities (PDD) program has evolved over the last two decades through a collaborative approach between government and community. 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. Over the past several years, a much-needed transformation has been underway in the PDD program. 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.
