Award Descriptions:
- The Self-Advocacy Award recognizes an adult with a developmental disability whose actions have made communities a more welcoming place for people with developmental disabilities.
- The Individual Leadership Award recognizes an adult with a developmental disability who, through their achievements, has inspired others with developmental disabilities to become community leaders.
- The Community Citizenship Award recognizes community members, businesses or organizations that have demonstrated leadership in creating communities that welcome adults with developmental disabilities as participating citizens.
- The You Made A Difference Award recognizes an individual in the Community Disabilities Service Sector that has introduced innovative or best practice strategies that have improved the delivery of services for adults with developmental disabilities. This improvement could be related to personal outcomes for an individual; development of strategies that have proven effective in connecting individuals in community and being as independent as possible; and/or development of organizational approaches that improve effectiveness and efficiency of services to adults with developmental disabilities.
