We Change Lives by Changing Systems

The Indiana Governor's Council for People with Disabilities (GCPD) strives to uplift people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (ID/DD) in Indiana by implementing the Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act (DD Act), a federal law created to support people with disabilities and their families. From funding community impact grants to influencing public policy, GCPD aspires to shape Indiana into strong, supportive communities that enshrine inclusion, dignity of risk, and self-determination for people with ID/DD, where they can live, work, and fully participate in life as the experts of their own lives.
