Governor's Council on Developmental Disabilities

The Governor’s Council on Developmental Disabilities works for the benefit of individuals with disabilities, their families, friends and employers as well as businesses, law enforcement agencies, legislators, schools… in fact all Arizonans. We work to build bridges, increase understanding and create opportunities to banish misconceptions and change public policy. We believe that individuals with developmental disabilities should have every opportunity to achieve their maximum potential to be independent, productive and integrated into the community of their choice. If you can help in any way, or if you need help, please call the Governor’s Council in Phoenix, Arizona at 1-800-889-5893 or 602-542-4049 TTY602-542-8920.

Mission
The mission of the Governor’s Council on Developmental Disabilities is to bring together persons with disabilities representing Arizona cultural diversity and their families and other community members, to protect rights, eliminate barriers, and jointly promote equal opportunities.  This is achieved through a philosophy of self-determination with increased options through state-wide planning, advocacy, monitoring and community action for public policy change.
