Hello and welcome back to PinPoint, for the Georgia Council on Developmental Disabilities I am your host Wes Nelson.
Our episode today is going to work a little differently than usual. During the Spring of 2023 GCDD organized three Advocacy Days at the Georgia state capitol, and I had the pleasure of attending all three. We did a ton of short interviews with different people and I want to include as many voices as possible. I’ve done my best to tie them all together into a cohesive story.

The Georgia Council on Developmental Disabilities (GCDD) is driven by its Five Year Plan (2017-2021) goals of education; employment; self-advocacy; Real Communities; and formal and informal supports. The Council, charged with creating systems change for individuals with developmental disabilities and family members, will work through various advocacy and capacity building activities to build a more interdependent, self-sufficient, and integrated and included disability community across Georgia.
This project was supported, in part by grant number 2001GASCDD-03, from the U.S. Administration for Community Living, Department of Health and Human Services, Washington, D.C. 20201. Grantees undertaking projects with government sponsorship are encouraged to express freely their findings and conclusions. Points of view or opinions do not, therefore, necessarily represent official ACL policy.
