We use the results of the comprehensive review and analysis to generate a survey of the 9000 registrants of ID Action to get their input on the most important issues and strategies.  The survey is also available to other advocacy organizations, agencies, interest groups so that we receive input from people with developmental disabilities, families, decision-makers and members of the public.  Staff and/or members participate in focus groups, information sessions, planning sessions of other organizations, agencies and interest groups to identify priority needs and activities, tactics and strategies others are employing to address issues.  We have community conversations with throughout the state with individuals, families and community members to identify the strength and needs of communities to be inclusive. We read the state plans of other state agencies and engage Council members in conversations about their experiences and observations from individual, family, agency, provider perspectives.

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
