Community Engagement Directory
“Disability is a natural part of the human experience...” That is the first line of the Federal Developmental Disabilities Act.
Federal law also places a priority on the community as the place all should have the opportunity to live and thrive, including people with disabilities. However, regardless of issues like specific diagnoses, living circumstances and family status, every individual with disabilities is unique.
Our community engagement team works to create synergies between our providers and outside agencies and stakeholders to build ongoing, permanent relationships with the Munroe-Meyer Institute. These serve to exchange knowledge and resources as well as to build trust, and work with partners toward a shared vision to improve the lives of individuals with disabilities and complex health care needs.
