You are invited to our listening sessions in Forrest City on February 13th!

WHEN? 02/13/2025, 3 PM to 4:30 PM and 6 PM to 7:30 PM (two options)

WHERE? Forrest City, Arkansas.
Forrest City Public Library, 421 S. Washington St., Forrest City, AR

WHY? To hear your concerns and needs. The Council is a member of the Arkansas Developmental Disabilities (DD) Network. We are traveling across Arkansas over the next few months, with our DD Network partners, to listen.

These listening sessions are in-person events – we want to hear from YOU! 

Our goal is to improve the independence and productivity of Arkansans with disabilities and to ensure their integration into the community. With these sessions, our network will identify the most pressing needs of the intellectual and developmental disability community in our state. The information we gather will guide our strategic plans to address those needs. Your input is vital to focus our efforts exactly where Arkansas needs them.

Please RSVP to [email protected]

We hope to see you there. Please spread the word!
