Our mission is to bring about social and policy changes that promote opportunities for the wide spectrum of diverse Georgians with developmental disabilities and their families to live, learn, lead, work, play and worship in their communities.
Our public policy efforts encourage the integration between people with developmental disabilities, the people who support them, and the community as a whole. We foster change and public awareness that reflects the needs of people with developmental disabilities.
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).

We make funds available to increase the capacity and resources of public and private nonprofit entities and others to develop a comprehensive community system that responds to the choices, capabilities and needs of persons with developmental disabilities and their families.
We provide access to resources to help you find developmental disabilities services, learn about the history of disability policy, and access papers written about disability issues.
The Disability Vote Counts!
