PADDC Seeks Your Input on Draft Goals for 2027–2031 Five-Year Plan

Feedback concept, user comment rating online, writing feedback reviews, and reputation management on speech bubbles.

The Pennsylvania Developmental Disabilities Council (PADDC) is seeking public input on goals and objectives for its next 5-year plan (2027–2031). Over the past 14 months, PADDC 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; and
  • Analyzed state data, services, and challenges to identify unmet needs for individuals with developmental disabilities and their families.

The results of these activities led PADDC to develop goals and objectives in the following focus areas: self-advocacy; information sharing; and services and supports. Before the plan is finalized, the Council is seeking public comments to ensure they are considering a variety of viewpoints.

PADDC invites you to take its survey by March 27, 2026. Complete the survey here.
