Council Plans and Reports

The Idaho Council on Developmental Disabilities is seeking pubic comment on its draft 5-year plan. The plan is available in English and Spanish. Please click the buttons below to review.

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.
