What We Do
The DDPC addresses the needs of people with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities (IDD) through projects that promote self-determination, integration, and inclusion.
The primary work of the DDPC is done through pilot projects. These DDPC-funded projects seek to:
- Promote capacity building, and systems change efforts
- Empower people through work that teaches self-advocacy skills
- Advance public policy to help individuals gain more control over their lives
- Create an environment of independence, self-determination, inclusion, and acceptance
State Plans
DD Councils develop 5-year State Plans telling the Administration on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (AIDD) what work is planned to be done with the funding provided by AIDD. The State Plan is submitted to and must be approved by AIDD. The State Plan serves as a guide to the Council on how to allocate resources and achieve its goals and objectives. Councils may amend their State Plan once a year with AIDD approval.
