Disability Consulting Services and Advocacy
Through governmental advocacy, public awareness activities, and professional disability consulting, CTD ensures that persons with disabilities may work, live, learn, play and participate fully in the community of their choice.
My Medicaid Matters
The (MMM) My Medicaid Matters campaign was created to educate the Texas legislature, Texans, policy makers and Congress about the 3,593,507 Texans whose health, independence, families and jobs are supported by Texas Medicaid: 2,605,893 children, 513,681 Texans with disabilities, 241,013 seniors, 127,402 expectant mothers, and the workers and professionals who assist them every day.
MMM message is one of:
Health! Medicaid provides hospital, doctor and other health services to children, Texans with disabilities, older Texans and expectant mothers. Independence! Medicaid provides vital home and community based services that allow seniors and younger people with disabilities to live independently in their community. Families! Medicaid provides services that support families in caring for their children, including kids with significant disabilities! Jobs! Medicaid provides vital jobs for direct care workers, therapists, health care professionals and other industries!
How can you become Involved:

YOU can play a major role in fulfilling our goals by signing the online petition and forwarding it on through your social media networks and/or downloading and printing the English petition or Spanish petition and collecting as many signatures as possible.
