A group of students with developmental disabilities are in a kitchen at West Chester University, posing with the University mascot. 2024 Impact Report. Logo for the Pennsylvania Developmental Disabilities Council. From our Executive Director, Lisa Tesler:

“As I think back on this past year, I feel proud of our achievements and the many ways we have improved the lives of people with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities  (I/DD) and their families. PADDC has succeeded because of effective leadership from Council Members and the hard work of our grantees, staff, partners, and collaborators.

In 2025, we will continue our existing work and increase our focus on collective advocacy. Considering the anticipated changes ahead, our efforts will prioritize access to quality services and Medical Assistance.”
