The Wisconsin Board for People with Developmental Disabilities operates as a public policy office focused on promoting independence and inclusion for individuals with certain developmental disabilities in Wisconsin. Its work centers on safeguarding core rights for people with disabilities and their families, including the ability to direct one’s own life and be treated with dignity. Based in Madison, Wisconsin, the organization serves a state-level audience and is part of the public policy landscape that addresses conditions such as brain injury, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, autism, Prader-Willi syndrome, and intellectual disabilities, among related neurological conditions. In addition to advocacy, the board seeks to advance citizenship-based rights and opportunities for community participation for people with developmental disabilities. A recent development noted in state-focused health news indicates the appointment of Jenny Price as executive director, signaling leadership continuity within the organization. The board is a mid-sized public entity, operating within the broader ecosystem of Wisconsin’s services and advocacy groups dedicated to disability rights and supports.
