Action Plan Objective Step
Action Step: LSI-3.1
UCEDDs will work with DD Network partners in their states and territories to develop and support leaders and advocates who have the knowledge and skills to work effectively with governors, state agencies, and legislatures to advance policy. Since disparities are multi-layered, multi-faceted, and often entrenched, their resolution is clearly beyond the control of the UCEDD. Nonetheless, UCEDDs are in a position to identify underlying causes and support interventions to mitigate and reduce persistent disparities experienced by individuals with I/DD and their families from underserved groups.
