PADDC wants to hear your ideas on how to:
- Improve supports and services for people with disabilities and their families.
- Make communities better for everyone.
- Improve advocacy and training opportunities.
- Protect the rights of people with disabilities.
Join PADDC for a listening session. Both in person and virtual meeting options are

Now Accepting LEAF Scholarship Applications
PADDC is now accepting applications for its LEAF Scholarship program. LEAF Scholarships provide support for self-advocates and families to attend events that promote leadership, education, and self-advocacy, thereby enabling people with developmental disabilities and their family members to expand their knowledge and skills.
The LEAF Scholarship program provides scholarships of up to $750 per person, per year, to assist individuals with disabilities and their family members to attend conferences, training sessions, and comparable activities directly related to skill development in the areas of self-advocacy, leadership, and education.
Applications for 2025 scholarships are now open.
