DD Day at the Legislature
Every year the Council co-sponsors Developmental Disabilities Day at the Legislature. We do this with the Developmental Disabilities Coalition. Hundreds of people with developmental disabilities, family members, advocates, and service providers come together in Annapolis.
Legislators, state leaders, and other advocates will provide information about issues that are important to people with developmental disabilities and their families. This is a great way to learn more about the legislative process and how to advocate about the issues important to you.
Join us on Wednesday, February 18 for DD Day at the Legislature 2026. DD Day will run from 8 am to 11 am at the Graduate by Hilton hotel in Annapolis.
Registration for the in-person event is now open at the link below. There are a limited number of registration spots available, and they fill up fast. Register now!
If you can’t make it to DD Day in person, you can watch a live stream of the event online! We will make an announcement soon about where you can watch.
There are a limited number of in-person registration spots. If you plan to watch the live stream, please do not register for the in-person event.

In the case that the Maryland General Assembly closes for extreme weather, DD Day at the Legislature will be moved to a virtual platform and no refunds will be issued. That decision will be made with as much advanced notice as possible.
