Sara, Arkansas needs to do a non-substantive update to our plan. When we talked to Sheryl, she said that those would be due at the same time that the PPR is submitted after everything is ready for that. We do NOT have amendments, just
two non substantive updates. Are you ready for us to do those?

DD Councils,
Annually, DD Councils must submit amendments and/or updates to their 5-Year State Plan. An amendment is a major change of a 5-year goal that alters the intent of the original goal (formerly referred to as a “substantive
change”). Amendments are due August 15th of each year for the following federal fiscal year and require a 45-day public comment period. State plan updates are minor grammatical changes to 5-year goals and other components of the plan such as objectives,
activities, expected outcomes, evaluation, etc. (formerly referred to as “non-substantive changes), and are due January 1 of each year for the current federal fiscal year.
I have heard from three Councils that want to amend their plan at this time. If your Council is also intending to amend (see above criteria), but you have not reached out, please send me an email this week so I
can have your report unlocked for edits.
Thank you!

Dear DD Councils
The DICLC webinar, Developing a Language Assistance and Implementation Plan’ What DD Councils Should Know, was verywell attended with 31 participants representing 21 states. Thank you to our guest presenter, Tawara D. Goode from
the Georgetown University Center for Cultural Competence. Note: The revised/final version of the PowerPoint, attached and linked below, contains additional information on Four Factor Analysis (slide 5).
Councils were provided information about federal legal mandates for language access, how these mandates apply to Developmental Disabilities Councils, key components of language access and implementation plans and more. Thank you
to our Council leaders for their presentations as well. Kirsten Murphy, Executive Director of the Vermont DD Council and Jackie Hayes, Diversity and Inclusion Program Specialist, NYS Developmental Disabilities Planning Council shared their efforts, experiences
and outcomes regarding language access. (attached, itacc RESOURCES LAP)
