Welcome to SCDD!

The State Council on Developmental Disabilities (SCDD) is established by state and federal law as an independent state agency to ensure that people with developmental disabilities and their families receive the services and supports they need.

Consumers know best what supports and services they need to live independently and to actively participate in their communities. Through advocacy, capacity building and systemic change, SCDD works to achieve a consumer and family-based system of individualized services, supports, and other assistance.

SCDD Statement on the Recent Killings
Today and every day we stand with the Black community.

The California State Council on Developmental Disabilities (SCDD) is horrified by the killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, Ahmaud Arbery, Malik Williams, and too many others. We are outraged, we are grieving. Racism is the other virus plaguing us.

As a disability organization that focuses on human rights, SCDD is with all who have experienced racism and rights violations both systemic and singular. We have seen the estimates that as many as 50% of people killed by law enforcement each year are people with disabilities. We know that the school-to-prison pipeline is clear and strong for students of color with a disability.

We stand with the protesters, even those of us who are unable to stand.
We voice our outrage, even those among us who are unable to voice.
We reject hate and racism.
We embrace equal protection and equal rights under the law.
We demand racial justice.
People say a change is coming. We say a change is here.
