Legislative Advocacy Survey

We Need to Hear From YOU


Please take this survey and let us know where you most need support and advocacy for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.


The Arc of Washington State and the Washington State Developmental Disabilities Council will use the survey results to plan legislative advocacy days for 2024 and prepare resources to be shared with families, advocates and legislators.

Results will be shared with the Community Advocacy Coalition, which includes a mix of advocacy groups and service providers working collectively to promote dignity and respect for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and to ensure people get the supports they need live a quality life.
