Planning For the Future...

futureOver the past several decades, WAPADH has grown from a small parents association offering limited services to become a large and significant provider of excellent services to people with developmental disabilities.  In 2011, WAPADH decided to embark upon a strategic planning process to deliberately determine how it wanted to expand in its next stage.

This ‘WAPADH Strategic Plan 2013-2017′ is the result of that effort….
