Building Strong Bonds: How Maine's Ucedd And Community Advisory Committee Support Each Other In Our Work, Kile Pelletier, Maryann Preble

Poster Presentations

In 1990, a Consumer Advisory Committee (CAC) assembled and created a mission statement for what would become the University of Maine Center for Community Inclusion, University Affiliated Program. Their vision of inclusion and interdependence and recognition of the inherent worth and talent of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities continues today. The CAC Co-Chairs will describe how strong bonds between the Maine UCEDD and CAC sustain our work together in this poster presentation.
