Every five years, the Vermont Developmental Disabilities Council writes a new State Plan. The Plan reflects the current needs of their family, friends, and neighbors impacted by a developmental disability in our state. The State Plan guides how the Council uses its resources -- including VTDDC’s annual allocation of federal funds -- to improve the lives of Vermonters with developmental disabilities.
The State Plan helps VTDDC to realize important goals and objectives, and measure how it has impacted Vermonters statewide. Its four goals focus on assisting underserved communities, supporting self-advocacy, filling service gaps, and advancing high quality supports for Vermonters with developmental disabilities.
