We are required to create a Five-Year State Plan to guide our daily work. The plan ensures that we address the most important concerns of the developmental disabilities community. The plan also holds us accountable to specific goals.

Every year, we check how we’re doing with the goals in the plan. If things change, we update our goals. We work with people with disabilities, community groups, local and state agencies, advocates, and others to get their ideas and feedback.
