Developmental Disability Advocates

We’re proud to share that our collaborative partnership in the Eastern Region Alliance (ERA) has been recognized with a 2026 What’s Right with the Region Award from FOCUS St. Louis, honoring efforts to advance equity and inclusion.
This acknowledgment reflects the shared commitment of multiple organizations working together to expand access, strengthen supports, and create more inclusive opportunities for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
While this recognition highlights the partnership, it truly represents the collective impact made possible by providers, advocates, families, and community partners who continue to move this work forward every day. We’re grateful to be part of such a dedicated network working toward meaningful, lasting change.
