Hey friends! Please fill out this quick survey to let ADAP know what's important for families caring for individuals with disabilities!

🚨 We’re almost there, Alabama! 🚨

➡️ Take the survey: tinyurl.com/ADAP2027 ⬅️

We’ve heard from people with disabilities, family members, advocates, and community members across 62 Alabama counties as we plan ADAP’s priorities for the coming year.

We’re still hoping to hear from residents of just five counties:

📍 Coosa
📍 Fayette
📍 Monroe
📍 Sumter
📍 Washington

If you live in one of these counties, please take our short priorities survey and tell us about the disability-related needs in your community. Your input will help guide ADAP’s work.

Please share this post with friends, family members, and community organizations in these counties!
