Mission: Create opportunities for people of all ages with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities to participate fully in the community!

With election day nearing, the DDRC Board of Directors have voted to endorse the following ballot initiatives:

Support: Amendment 87 – Graduated Income Tax
This measure primarily affects high-income earners, making over $500,000 annually. It is intended to help address the state's budget shortfall while generating additional revenue for intellectual and developmental disability (IDD) services, health care, education, and early childhood programs.

Oppose: Proposition 136
This measure negates the benefits of Amendment 87, resulting in continued budget pressures and potential cuts to essential state services. It would maintain the current flat income tax structure regardless of income level.

Support: Proposition NN
This measure increases the TABOR revenue cap, allowing the state to retain additional funding for K-12 education, early childhood programs, and property tax exemptions.

As you complete your ballot, we encourage you to consider these recommendations. These measures may impact the programs and services DDRC provides to our community.

You can access a Plain Language Guide for more details and explanation of all measures on your ballot. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FTUeN3iBv3Fe1GTYdE4dtAcGVYJOT4sx/view

✨ A new e-bike is helping Jerry build independence, stay active, and enjoy new opportunities in his community.

Thanks to DDRC’s Self-Determination Initiative (SDI), adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities can access funding for resources, equipment, and experiences that help turn personal goals into reality. For Jerry, who was experiencing mobility and health challenges, that meant an e-bike that helps him get around, explore and work toward new adventures.

“I love my three-wheeler. It’s helping me get stronger, it’s easy to balance, and it’s fun!” he says. And everyone deserves the opportunity to pursue their goals and live a life of choice.

💙🌟 During National Case Management Week, we’re celebrating our dedicated Early Intervention service coordinators who help young children and families every step of the way.

Our Intake Coordinators are often a family’s first connection to Early Intervention, guiding referrals, scheduling evaluations, gathering information, and helping families access supports as quickly and smoothly as possible.

Once a child is eligible, our Service Coordinators partner with families to coordinate services, facilitate IFSP meetings, connect resources, monitor progress, and support transitions.

Together, they build relationships, remove barriers, and help children and families thrive. Thank you to our Intake and Service Coordinators for all you do!
