The Maryland Developmental Disabilities Council believes that all people with I/DD should receive the support they need to maximize independence, be productive, and lead the lives they choose in the community. Practices that segregate and isolate people with disabilities must end.
MACS (Maryland Association of Community Services) is a private nonprofit organization dedicated to strengthening agencies to better support people with I/DD and their families in their own communities. This is accomplished through advocacy that promotes the highest standards of program excellence; fosters a climate that develops and nurtures a quality workforce; and results in an increased capacity within MD communities to support people in inclusive settings.
The Maryland Department of Disabilities strives to make the Governor’s vision into reality for every Marylander with a disability. When our citizens with disabilities fully participate in their communities, our entire state is stronger. To that end, the Department works to remove barriers for people with disabilities and create new opportunities in education, employment, housing and transportation.
People on the Go of Maryland is a statewide self-advocacy group with the membership consisting of local self- advocacy groups from around the state. Self-advocacy groups help people stand up for what is important to them and bring people together to advocate for common issues. There is always power in numbers.
