DDS: Succeeding Together! is a new initiative of the Department on Disability Services spotlighting the success stories and accomplishments of people served by DDS, through its Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA) and Developmental Disabilities Administration (DDA).  These are triumphs that wouldn’t have been possible without the efforts of DDS staff and our government and community partners. DDS: Succeeding Together! enables DDS to recognize the talents and dedication of DDS staff, and of DDS’ partners in DC government and the service provider community – and is proof positive that our collective hard work really does make a difference in the lives of the people we serve. As part of DDS: Succeeding Together!, DDS is talking to people with disabilities and others they suggest to gather stories of the paths they took and challenges they overcome in achieving competitive, integrated employment.  For those who give their voluntary, informed consent, DDS is publicizing their stories in print and on the internet to highlight and promote their successes, as well as all that is in reach for people with disabilities.
