The Collaboration to Promote Self-Determination (CPSD) is an advocacy network of national disability organizations committed to high-impact, innovative public policy reforms that empower citizens who live with complex disabilities and have significant support needs. CPSD promotes policy reform aimed at empowering individuals with complex intellectual, developmental and cognitive by:
- Providing opportunities for meaningful engagement in the areas of education, employment, social interaction, and community engagement;
- Eliminating current obstacles and creating viable incentives to empower individuals to live and work in integrated settings, generate income, and save for their future; and
- Customizing public supports based on the unique needs of individuals with significant disabilities throughout the lifespan through self-direction and individual budgeting to promote their lives as productive citizens within their communities.
