2024 National Self-Direction Conference Application

One of Cuyahoga DD's goals is to help people with developmental disabilities advocate for themselves - to decide and communicate what they want and need to live their best lives.

In honor of former Cuyahoga DD Superintendent & CEO Kelly Petty, Cuyahoga DD created a scholarship to send one (1) person served by Cuyahoga DD and a caregiver to the 2024 National Self-Direction Conference in Baltimore, MD March 14-15, 2024.

The scholarship includes conference registration, one (1) hotel room for three (3) nights, transportation, and meals that are not included as part of the conference.
