Safety Resources
Summer activities are typically spent in the outdoors and/or in the water! Safety is an important topic for individuals and caregivers. The Washington State Developmental Disability Administration has put together informational bulletins for caregivers covering Dehydration, Water Safety, and Heat Safety.
Day Services Survey - the DDC wants to hear from you :-) In anticipation of community conversations hosted by the Developmental Disabilities Council later this summer, please complete this form to provide input on day services for people with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities in Washington State. You can access the survey with this link - https://forms.gle/vqgkvAyeJxWo49nr8
This survey is intended to collect feedback regarding the Day Services you or the person you support receives. Day Services include Individual Employment, Community Engagement, Community Inclusion and Respite. This survey is interested in understanding more about your experience receiving community inclusion, community engagement, or supported employment services. We want to hear from everyone who has direct experience with these programs, and we want this feedback to be as representative as possible of people who are directly impacted by these programs. If you know someone who you think should complete this form, please forward this link. The form may be completed by the person receiving services or their representative on their behalf. Emails are collected only to ensure that only one response is submitted per email. Responses will be kept anonymous. Survey's must be completed by July 19, 2022
Airline Passengers with Disabilities Bill of Rights
This Bill of Rights describes the fundamental rights of air travelers with disabilities under the Air Carrier Access Act. The Bill of Rights does not expand or restrict the rights of air travelers with disabilities. Rather, it provides a convenient summary of existing law.
For example, did you know you have a right to receive seating accommodations, assistance in the airport and on the aircraft, and that you have the right to be treated with dignity and respect. Check out the full Bill of Rights at the link below.
