Partners and Members of the IDD Council

The IDD Council of Tarrant County is a collaboration of public and private agencies, caregivers, self-advocates and their families. The Council invites everyone to the table to develop plans for long-term changes in the system, address key issues, provide immediate solutions where possible, and create awareness and inclusion throughout the community.

Founding Partners:

We value our Founding Partners (Tarrant County, Fort Worth ISD, JPS Hospital District, and MHMR) for being the first to recognize the need of an organization to provide awareness and opportunities for people with IDD.
