ADDP's mission is to promote and ensure the strength of the community-based provider community and its members so that our members can be successful in improving the quality, access and value of community based services. To that end, the ADDP is committed to enhancing the political, financial and professional/educational health of member organizations that care for people with disabilities, including developmental disabilities and acquired brain injuries, and their families. ADDP strives to: - Promote the need for sufficient funding of members in order to secure the resources necessary to provide a quality and stable environment for their consumers. - Share effective practices among members in order to promote high standards of care and services for all individuals. - Inform the public of the many invaluable contributions made to a community by its members and their consumers. - Raise salaries for its members' workforce and establish fair rates system wide. - Create an environment where members are able to provide supportive communities where consumers live with independence and dignity.
