Welcome to the I/DD community and the North Carolina Council on Developmental Disabilities. The Council works to improve the opportunities and lives of North Carolinians with I/DD through advocacy, capacity building and systems change.

In the "Welcome" section of the website, you will find organizations and resources that provide supports and services to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD), families, caregivers and the community. With its partner organizations across the State, the Council works to provide the statewide community with the information they need to enjoy independent lives in inclusive and integrated communities.
