What We Do:
The MRNC will work to ensure a society in which all persons with mental retardation and related developmental disorders have access to services and supports to enable their fullest participation in community life. The MRNC will work to ensure that Harris County will have a health and human services delivery system which is a partnership of consumers, family members, service providers, educators, advocates, and policy makers. This partnership will work to create service options for all individuals with mental retardation and related developmental disorders, which are flexible, dependable, accessible, cost effective, and promote individual choice. The MRNC is a partnership between advocates of persons with mental retardation and providers of mental retardation services. The MRNC is charged with identifying issues affecting persons with mental retardation and related developmental disorders, and making recommendations to address those issues.
