5-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.

Every 5 years, the Pennsylvania Developmental Disabilities Council (PADDC) is required to develop a State Plan to help guide the work of the Council. The process of creating the next 5-year plan requires PADDC to gather information on the current barriers and concerns in Pennsylvania for those with developmental disabilities and their families. One of the ways they are choosing to gather information is to ask residents of Pennsylvania with a developmental disability, their families, and other involved parties for their input.

The survey will take about 10 minutes of your time. They will use the information from your response to help develop their next state plan. Complete the 5-Year Plan Survey here. Please complete the survey by Friday, March 14, 2025.
