Advocating for Texans with IDD

Since 1953, we’ve been involved in the creation or preservation of every support available to Texans with IDD. Check out our focus areas.

Protecting Finances and Benefits

Since 1997, our Master Pooled Trust has been a solution for Texans with any disability to manage funds while preserving government benefits eligibility.

Resources and Relationships

Our trusted IDD information and referral resources cover waivers, guardianship, education, employment, future planning, civil rights, and much more.
