“I am honored to be on the Missouri Developmental Disabilities Council and I am excited to continue advocating for people with developmental disabilities,” Ms. Galt stated. “I hope to spread awareness about how individuals have abilities, not disabilities, and to do more for my community and the state of Missouri.”
