Council on Developmental Disabilities

We are a small nonprofit with a great big vision: a society that includes, values and empowers children, youth and adults with IDD. Our mission is to initiate positive change on behalf of our constituents. The Council is a Louisville-based nonprofit rooted in advocacy of fully inclusive lives for individuals of all ages who have developmental and/or intellectual disabilities.  We have been affiliated with Metro United Way as a partner agency for 45-plus years, and we are grateful for United Way's commitment to serving our community.

The Council helps individuals, families and caregivers by providing one-on-one guidance, training events and social events  to navigate essential community resources to help individuals live their best lives. We are here to serve your family for a lifetime, offering training and empowerment through all the stages of your journey.
