The DDC is required to create a 5-Year State Plan to address the needs of people with developmental disabilities and their families. Our State Plan helps guide our daily work, ensure we are addressing the most important priorities of the developmental disabilities community, and hold ourselves accountable to specific goals and objectives.
Each year we evaluate how much progress we have made and can make changes, if needed. People across the state play a very important role in the creation and implementation of our State Plan. We use your input to create the State Plan, and we need your constant feedback to make sure we stay on track.
State plan updated on 6/26/2024 and is currently in review by the Administration on Community Living (ACL). Originally approved by the Developmental Disabilities Council on 7/15/2021.
