Among these are the following: Administration on Developmental Disabilities (including Developmental Disabilities Councils by state, and state protection and advocacy agencies); National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities Branch; Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Maternal and Child Health (including regional consultants, state programs, and special projects); Department of Education, Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (including state directors of special education); and the Consortium for Citizens with Developmental Disabilities.
