Public Comment: Your participation during the public comment period
provides an opportunity for us to hear from you--individuals,
businesses, providers, educators, parents and advocates. Your comments
are important in bringing to the Council's attention and issues and
priorities of the disability community.
For the July 12 Council meeting, NCD will have an extended public
comment period of one hour and requests comments from the public
regarding experiences with healthcare barriers and bias for people with
disabilities. Additional information on specifics of the topic is
available on NCD's public comment page at <a href="https://ncd.gov/public-comment">https://ncd.gov/public-comment</a>.
The Council will prioritize in-person commenters, but as time
permits, will also receive public comment by video or audio over Zoom,
and always accepts advance public comments via email. Due to the hybrid
nature of the event, in-person presentations will be given priority.
