Registration is now open for the 19th Annual “Voices that Count” Policy Forum hosted by The Virgin Islands University Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities (VIUCEDD). We encourage the community-at-large (advocates, caregivers, family members, private businesses, and organizations) to meet the candidates of the Legislative Branch to discuss and address the challenges and issues faced by persons with disabilities.
Discussions centered on improving the quality of life for people with disabilities in the Virgin Islands are the core focus. Voices that Count ensures that the voices of people with disabilities, advocates, caregivers, and family members are heard and that the Virgin Islands community and policymakers gain an understanding of the issues and barriers people with disabilities face daily.
