NASDDDS State by State Services
The association's goal is to promote and assist states in developing effective, efficient service delivery systems that furnish high-quality services and supports to people with lifelong developmental disabilities. State service systems should be based on the principle that people with developmental disabilities have a right to be treated with respect and dignity, be independent and make individual choices to participate in family, community, and work life with the opportunity to maximize their full potential.
