Special Edition - Disability Partners Community Forums
Do you or a family member have a disability? Participate in this unique opportunity to have your voice heard by three different disability agencies. We want to know your needs, thoughts, and opinions —any age, any issue, any disability. Information and resources will be available.
Presented by the DD partner agencies—Disability Rights Mississippi, the Mississippi Council on Developmental Disabilities, and The University of Southern Mississippi Institute for Disability Studies—these forums are being held for the purpose of hearing from communities and meeting people face to face as we demonstrate a united stance on our goals and hope for the lives of individuals with disabilities in the state of Mississippi. A first session was held in Tunica on Aug. 2. Remaining sessions are:
