SACK speaks up at the local, state and national level to ensure the rights of people with disabilities right of individuals with developmental disabilities to:
- live independently, to exert control and choice over their own lives,
- fully participate in and contribute to their communities through full integration and inclusion in the economic, political, social, cultural, and educational mainstream of United States society
We advocate to ensure that individuals with developmental disabilities and their families participate in the design of and have access to needed community services, individualized supports, and other forms of assistance that promote self-determination, independence, productivity, and integration and inclusion in all facets of community life through
our grassroots network of local chapters, as well as organized statewide efforts and regional and national partnerships.
