Developmental Disabilities Act Requirements
The Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act of 2000 requires Councils to specify 5-year goals for advocacy, capacity building, and systemic change. These goals must be developed through data collected from public input and strategic planning. Councils are required to work on self-advocacy and leadership development of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities during each year of the plan.
Plans
The Council must develop and submit five-year plans to the Administration for Community Living. The current five-year plan ends on September 30, 2026. Council members and other stakeholders spent 2020 and the first half of 2021 developing our 2022-2026 plan.
Annual Report
We are required to submit a federal Program Performance Report (PPR) each year. If you would like to see the most recent PPR, please submit a request.
