One day a group of parents, the story goes, sat around a coffee table and decided the time had come to create opportunities for children with developmental disabilities. They were frustrated. They wanted more than a life of isolation for their children. They wanted them to grow up with family. parents have crossed over. And some are still here in this room with Mary Yoder and the people who've benefited from their actions.

We are often the one place where people with developmental disabilities can go to achieve personal empowerment, family stability and community participation. AADD provides family support; public policy and advocacy; and community engagement.
