It is the purpose of the Legislature in enacting the Developmental Disabilities Act [28-16A-1 to 28-16A-18 NMSA 1978] to promote opportunities for all persons with developmental disabilities to live, work and participate with their peers in New Mexico communities. Priority shall be given to the development and implementation of support and services for persons with developmental disabilities that will enable and encourage them to:
(1) exert control and choice over their own lives;
(2) achieve their greatest potential for independent and productive living by participating in inclusive community activities; and
(3) live in their own homes and apartments or in facilities located within their own communities and in contact with other persons living in their communities.
The Developmental Disabilities Act authorizes the Department of Health to plan, provide and coordinate support and services to persons with developmental disabilities.
