Chester County Community of Practice

The Community of Practice is an initiative started by Pennsylvania’s Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) and PA Family Network.  In Chester County, we are a grassroots collaborative.  Our mission is to help individuals with disabilities live the life of their choosing and support them in achieving their dreams and personal goals.  Our vision is to help connect adults with disabilities to employers, not only so that they find jobs, but to convey to our community members how valuable an asset they could be to a business.
