July/ August Issue Focus: Independent Living
CTD's mission hinges on the idea of independent living: that people with disabilities can make their own choices about where and how they live, work, learn, play, and civically engage. For over 30 years, we've advocated for public policies that put this idea into practice. Over the months of July and August, we'll look at the policies, programs, and real-life stories of independent living in Texas.

"Disability Issues" covers a lot of ground, and CTD works year round to bring about positive change in as many policy areas as we can. Tell us where you would like to be more involved, and we'll keep you informed about opportunities to support your highest priority issues!
