The Developmental Disabilities Advisory Board and the Jefferson County Developmental Disabilities Program sponsored a Community Forum on Thursday, May 24, 2018 from 12 pm to 2:30 pm at the Quimper Unitarian Church.
The Purpose of the Community Forum was to:
- Provide an Overview of Developmental Disabilities (DD) Programs and Services in Jefferson County; and share the County Developmental Disabilities Program & Advisory Board purpose and efforts;
- Hear from Parents and community members about disability needs & areas of concern;
- Identify key Partners, (formal/informal) in Jefferson County, discuss what they bring to the table, and how to continue more effective partnerships and support/services;
- Inform the County Developmental Disabilities Program and Advisory Board about successes, what’s working, what’s not, what we need more of, future possibilities, employment outcomes and a quality life.
