GCDD’s Real Communities Initiative Receives National Award

The Georgia Council on Developmental Disabilities (GCDD) was the recipient this week of the American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (AAIDD) 2016 Full Community Inclusion Award for its Real Communities Initiative. The award was presented during the AAIDD Conference in this week in Downtown Atlanta. This award recognizes culturally responsive programs that have succeeded in full community inclusion and participation.

“We are excited and grateful for this recognition,” said GCDD Executive Director Eric Jacobson. “We share this with our Real Communities Community Builders, partners, GCDD Council and staff who continue working towards an inclusive community for Georgians with and without disabilities.”

Many Councils have benefited from learning about the Real Communities Initiative and have adopting some of the Asset Based Community Principles (ABCD) into their own work.

Thanks for inspiring us all Eric, Mitzi and entire Georgia DD Council! Congratulations to you all!

That’s GREAT, Georgia! And, IMO, well-earned. From my POV, I think you’ve been really successful at creating truly inclusive communities in which people with developmental disabilities are both included and valued. Congratulations on receiving the recognition!

Kudos to the Georgia DD Council!!! 

Not only has Idaho learned so much from Georgia about implementing a similar program in our state, but our early work in ABCD has planted the seeds for future intentional work in cultural competence.  We also have based our new 5-year plan on the principles of ABCD and have taken an asset-based approach to planning.

Thanks again to Eric and the Georgia team. 

Sincerely, Tracy
