Join the Call for Change in Attitudes & Action by signing: People with Developmental Disabilities Choose Community!
As the Commonwealth’s Developmental Disabilities Planning Council, the Virginia Board for People with Disabilities (VBPD) engages in outreach, advocacy, funding, and other activities that expand and improve the state’s service systems and promote community integration, person-centered practices, and self-determination.
To support the many local, state, and national initiatives that share these goals, VBPD has initiated the ABLE TO CHOOSE campaign to raise awareness among all Virginians that individuals with disabilities of all types and degrees can and do live successfully in communities of their own choice when individually appropriate services and supports are available to them.
The ABLE TO CHOOSE campaign needs your help to change individual attitudes and actions, business practices, community and civic activities, and public policy to make all aspects of community life accessible, inclusive, and welcoming to people with disabilities.
