Since
its creation in 1990, the Virginia Disability Commission has served
as a primary forum through which the needs and issues of people
with disabilities can be addressed through the collaboration of
members of the legislature, the Lieutenant Governor, the Governor's
appointees, and the agencies of the Executive branch. The Commission
works to accelerate effective state system change by requiring intergovernmental
and interagency coordination, as well as stakeholder input on critical
disability decisions. The Disability Commission provides a vehicle
for advancing budget proposals and addressing policy issues within
a vision for a service system that seeks to maximize the self-sufficiency
of Virginians with physical and sensory disabilities.
