Meet The Need NC is an initiative, funded by the North Carolina Council on Developmental Disabilities, that is changing the intellectual and other developmental disabilities (I/DD) landscape across the state. The initiative recognizes systemic change for I/DD community services and supports requires a common agenda. The content from Meet The Need NC aims to provide individuals, families and professionals education and information on intellectual and other developmental disabilities. It is not intended to replace professional medical, psychological, behavioral, legal, or educational counsel. Reference to any specific agency or legislation does not necessarily constitute or imply its endorsement, recommendation, or favoring by Meet The Need NC or the North Carolina Council on Developmental Disabilities.

This project was supported, in part by grant number 2301NCSCDD ($2,160,620.00), from the U.S. Administration for Community Living, Department of Health and Human Services, Washington, D.C. 20201. Grantees undertaking projects with government sponsorship are encouraged to express freely their findings and conclusions. Points of view or opinions do not, therefore, necessarily represent official ACL policy.

Meet The Need NC is driven by the Leadership Alliance for Neurodevelopmental Disabilities (LAND), a program of the 501c3 nonprofit, Mental Health Transformation Alliance (MHTA). LAND is a disability advocacy organization made up of family members and individuals with I/DD “lived experience” and other professionals dedicated to improving the lives of those with I/DD and their families.”
