Current Projects

The Georgia Council on Developmental Disabilities (GCDD) collaborates with, supports and funds many projects across Georgia that promote best practices demonstrating innovative programs and activities that create opportunities to enhance the quality of life for Georgians living with developmental disabilities (DD). The results of these projects provides GCDD with information to help educate decision makers, legislators and the general public about the benefits and ways of including people with DD in all parts of community living.
