Louisiana Developmental Disabilities Council

Louisiana Developmental Disabilities Council Independence, Self-Determination, Productivity, Integration, Inclusion

The goal of the Developmental Disabilities Council is to effectively implement the Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act of 2000 in Louisiana. All actions and efforts undertaken by the Council, either directly or through funded grant projects, are directed to advocacy, capacity building and systems change activities to affect real and meaningful reform of Louisiana’s system

of services and supports to individuals with developmental disabilities and their families. The Council advocates for the community services and supports desired by individuals with developmental disabilities and their families, increased availability of those supports for Louisiana’s citizens now waiting for those services, appropriate rebalancing of Louisiana’s resources to better meet the needs of our citizens with disabilities and their families, and reasonable fiscal expenditures to support high quality community services.

You might have heard words like HCBS, Olmstead, community living, waivers, and so much more. Those words mean a lot of things, and are different in each state. But here’s the word you need to know: home health care.

What does home health care look like?
- Helping someone eat, bathe, take medicine
- Driving someone to their doctor appointments

Tell us in the comments: What does home health care look like for you?

Home Sweet Home: Your Community. Your Choice. is a new public information campaign to help everyone advocate and build relationships where it matters most - in their hometown. Learn more on our website here: https://nacdd.org/home-sweet-home/
