PA Waiting List Campaign

Through Vision for Equality, the Pennsylvania Waiting List Campaign was established in 1997 in response to the outcry of people in crisis across the Commonwealth. Through advocacy we continue to bring the brought interests of people with ID/Autism and families to the forefront through:

• A long Term Plan to Address the Waiting List for Intellectual Disability Services in Pennsylvania.
• Development of the book, “Understanding the Intellectual Disability System in Pennsylvania.”
• Pressed for a Caucus for People with Intellectual/Developmental Disabilities and Autism
• Participated in the 2008 several Joint State Government Commissioned Report addressing the Waiting List
• Members are Stakeholders in State and Local Government advisory Committees

Vision for Equality began the PA Waiting List Campaign in 1997 to address the systemic problem of individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities and autism on waiting lists in PA.

Over the past 23 years, the Waiting List Campaign has been educating families, government officials, the public and the legislators about the impact of waiting lists on the health, safety and welfare of people with intellectual disabilities. We have influenced positive system change since our inception and have embraced the concept of self advocates and families working together with other stakeholders to achieve our goals.
