Political Decisions affect Public Education and Habilitation Services.
Lobby your legislators; vote your profession.
There are many resources available to OAPMRDD members to learn about bills that affect their profession and the learners they serve.

When an important state or national issue is being considered by the State Legislature or Congress you will receive an e-mail describing the issue and offering you the opportunity to compose an e-mail to your elected officials using a sample letter, suggested bullet points, and/or your own words. It is the fastest and easiest way to be involved and do your part.
