Pennsylvania Developmental Disabilities Council (PADDC) is pleased to share a draft of the proposed goals and objectives for our next 5-year plan (2027-2031).

Over the past 14 months, Council has:

  • Gathered public feedback on barriers and concerns that impact the lives of individuals with developmental disabilities and their families in Pennsylvania.
  • Distributed surveys and conducted listening tours.
  • Analyzed state data, services, and challenges to identify unmet needs for individuals with developmental disabilities and their families.

The results of these activities led Council to develop goals and objectives in the following focus areas: self-advocacy; information sharing; and services and supports.

Before the plan is finalized, we are seeking public comments to ensure we are considering a variety of viewpoints. We invite you to take our survey by March 27, 2026.

Thank you for your time and interest in the work of PADDC!
