Hi Sheryl: Wisconsin uses conversation café’s to gather input. We have the year mapped out. We try to target all areas of the state and focus on groups where we can get good representation on diversity, age, rural and urban etc. We have a few scheduled during key conferences as well: Circles of Life, Employment First and Self-Determination.

I have a tool kit, I’ve attached a few of the items:  the facilitators guide, café menu and flyer. I will be putting a whole box of supplies together for each café. Cafés are a really positive way to get input.

Subject: DD Councils Public Input on State Plan Information needed

 

Good afternoon!

 

As DD Councils are "gearing up" to gather information from the public to inform DD Councils about needs in the State/Territory, we are interested in collecting information on the variety of ways DD Councils receive information from people with developmental disabilities, families of people with developmental disabilities and other stakeholders.

 

If you have surveys or other methods that have been effective, please post to the list-serve, or send directly to me at xxxxxx@nacdd.org.  We will archive all the information received and make available on the itacchelp.org web-site in the near future.

 

Thank you in advance!  

 

Sheryl
