STATE PLAN

5-YEAR STATE PLAN: 2027-2031


Every five years, the Iowa Developmental Disabilities Council develops a state plan with goals and objectives to address new ways of improving the lives of Iowans with developmental disabilities. Self-advocates, families, state agencies, providers, educators, and other stakeholders provide input into the development of the state plan.

The Council creates a plan that we believe will result in systems change, capacity building, and increased advocacy for Iowans with developmental disabilities.

The state plan will guide the Council’s activities over the next five years. 


To receive a copy of the plan in the mail, contact us at contactus@iowaddcouncil.org or 800-452-1936 and we'll be happy to send it to you. We can also provide alternative formats upon request.
