Fw: Seeking public comment - ICDD state plan

[Guest guest]

thank you for sharing this, I've copied and pasted the Draft Plan into

this IPADD posting. I'm so excited to see so much community effort being

encouraged in these goals. Money will follow the most creative and meaningful

ideas for change, so let's get our thinking caps on.

Seeking public comment - ICDD state plan

Attached is the draft 5 year state plan that ICDD’s Council approved to

release for public comment at our meeting yesterday. Please distribute the

request below and the attached draft plan to your networks. Thanks for all

you’ve done to get us to this point!

The Illinois Council on Developmental Disabilities follows a 5 year state plan

in determining where to focus its efforts and resources. The plan is developed

by our Council with input from the public to ensure the selected goals and

targets address true needs in Illinois.

ICDD exists under the federal Developmental Disabilities Act. It states that we

cannot provide services directly. ICDD’s mission is to change, (improve!),

Illinois systems of service delivery. Bear in mind ICDD’s role to advocate,

educate, and push for positive changes as you read our proposed 5 year plan.

Please review ICDD’s proposed state plan for the fall of 2011 to the fall of

2015. ICDD would like to hear if you agree with the goals and targets of this

plan as outcomes ICDD should strive to achieve for Illinois and its citizens

with developmental disabilities. We also want to hear if you have refinements

to suggest or feel a specific target should be added or deleted.
