The AAIDD Texas Chapter is celebrating 50 years, and we couldn't be prouder to mark this milestone under our theme: "50 Years of Inclusion: Honoring the Past, Celebrating the Future." Whether you're a longtime member or joining us for the first time, we warmly welcome you to be part of this landmark year. If you've been considering membership, there's never been a better time.

 

Our Membership Committee meets regularly with a clear purpose: to grow and strengthen our network of providers, self-advocates, students, clinicians, and families, all united by a shared commitment to improving quality of life and building stronger communities. This year, we're proud to report that new membership is on the rise, and we are hopeful to continue this momentum.

 

When we come together, incredible things happen. Through shared purpose and collective action, we deepen our impact and improve the lives of individuals and families living with IDD.

 

One connection. One milestone. One moment at a time.
