Federal law requires the State Council to identify ways to improve and increase
services for individuals and their families, and to submit these ideas to the federal
government in the form of a State Plan. Effective with the passage of
the Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act of 2000, the
Plan covers a five-year period.
The 2007-2011 State Plan covers the time period from
October 1, 2006 to September 30, 2011.
It addresses specific information required by the federal Administration on
Developmental Disabilities, and includes the Council's determination of areas
of emphasis and resulting goals and objectives for the five-year time period. The Council must spend a
minimum of 70 percent of its federal funding to address the Plan objectives. All programs and projects of the Council are to be conducted in a manner that respects individual
differences and cultural diversity.
