The New York State Office for People with Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD) entered a three-year partnership with Georgetown University National Center for Cultural Competence (NCCC). The project goal is to advance policies and practices of cultural and linguistic competence (CLC), diversity, equity, and inclusion in all components of the intellectual and developmental disability (IDD) system of New York State.
Do you have a family member with an intellectual or other developmental disability (IDD) who receives supports and services now, has received them in the past, or has been unable to access supports and services from OPWDD? The NCCC is conducting Family Listening Sessions this January and February 2025 for families across New York State.
