InterAgency Council of Developmental Disabilities Agencies, Inc. is a New York City–based nonprofit formed in 1977 when roughly 30 agencies—many established by parents of children with developmental disabilities—joined forces to collaborate with government on a new service system. The organization serves as a collaborative hub, planning, coordinating, and integrating voluntary-operated services across the greater New York metropolitan area. Its mission includes promoting policies, both public and private, that expand opportunities for individuals with developmental disabilities and supporting the development of sufficient and appropriate services to improve their quality of life. The council also provides professional training to employees of its member agencies to build capacity and skills. Its activities primarily support its member agencies and the people they serve within the New York metropolitan region, reflecting its status as a small to mid-sized nonprofit.
