Text Box: FAADD MOVES FORWARD… FAADD (Filipino-American Association for Developmental Disabilities) is a non-profit, tax-exempt organization for people with developmental disabilities of FILIPINO descent. Our documents have been filed to the IRS for a 501 status and have been approved. The Filipino-American community has its own population of people with developmental disabilities. Their needs, issues and concerns in many respects are unique because of cultural and language differences. The FAADD attempts to bridge these gaps through our support group meetings every month and educational events such as workshops, field trips, and networking with other community groups & service agencies. FAADD sponsors annual events, a Christmas Party and a Summer Picnic. These events are well attended of about 100-250 Filipinos with developmental disability along with families and friends . These events are sponsored by individual citizens and organizations. They donate their services, food, money and other kinds to make these events possible. We have other events during the year such as workshops and trainings, trips to Disneyland, etc. If interested to participate and to make donations for these events please contact us. You are welcome to join us...provide us with support or just to network with us for our people with special needs.
