Listening Session - Governor's Council, DRA, Partners

Our goal is to improve the independence and productivity of Arkansans with disabilities and to ensure their integration into the community. With these sessions, our network will identify the most pressing needs of the intellectual and developmental disability community in our state. The information we gather will guide our strategic plans to address those needs. Your input is vital to focus our efforts exactly where Arkansas needs them.
