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.

Developing our Next State Plan

We need your input! The VBPD is creating our next State Plan. The plan will guide our work for five years.

Your input will help us identify what to work on. We welcome input from people with developmental disabilities, their family members, and people who serve them. Tell us what your biggest barriers and successes are!

You can provide input by attending a town hall in person, attending a town hall on Zoom, or taking a survey.

Se puede brindar comentarios en español asistiendo a un foro abierto por Zoom o completando una encuesta.
