Every individual is a valued, participating member of their community.
Community participation is happening across South Dakota for many individuals with developmental disabilities. However, community inclusion is not as easy to accomplish. Council activities are very important in the efforts to provide inclusion in the community. These activities include training for direct care workers, availability of current information on disability topics, and networking opportunities for parents, guardians and individuals with disabilities. A PSA was issued about community inclusion.
