The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has announced that it will not move forward with consolidation of funding of disability programs through the National Centers on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities (NCBDDD). Over the past months, the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation has been working with all our advocates and others in the disability community to reach out to Congress and share the personal stories of how consolidation would impact them.
CDC’s action shows that advocates voices matter, and now the millions of individuals living with paralysis who depend upon services provided by the PRC each day have the security that these essential programs and services won’t be taken away.
