Conference Wrap-Up
Partners in Policymaking
What Is Idaho Partners in Policymaking?
Idaho Partners in Policymaking is an innovative leadership development program for adults with developmental disabilities and parents of children with disabilities. Partners receive information, training, resources, and skill-building so they may have the best possible life experiences for themselves and their children. Partners in Policymaking was created in 1986 by Colleen Wieck, Executive Director of the Minnesota Governor’s Council on Developmental Disabilities. The program was developed specifically to teach people with disabilities and families of young children with disabilities to:
- Work on long-term change.
- Become active partners with policymakers who will shape policies that impact people with disabilities and families.
- Understand possibilities and how to create them.
