The Cross Disability Coalition
The Coalition was started in 2009 and is sponsored by the RI DD Council. It is for individuals with all disabilities to connect and talk about what is important in their lives and what they can do together to improve quality for all people. It is also an opportunity to become familiar with different services available from agencies in Rhode Island and learn what these agencies can do to support and meet the needs of individuals.
