Communication Bulletin 00-25-05 was published and shared last week. The purpose of the bulletin was to establish the Office of Developmental Programs’ (ODP’s) policy on communication and assure all individuals have an effective way to communicate.

To further provide access to the bulletin, ODP has shared another version of the bulletin in easier-to-understand terms and with pictures. This version will be available on MyODP as an attachment to the original bulletin communication released on December 1, 2025.

The following bulletins below are no longer in use:

  • Office of Developmental Programs 00-14-04, Accessibility of Intellectual Disability Services for Individuals Who Are Deaf

The Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) is happy to announce a new resource, “Bridging the Gap From Classroom to Community: Transition Resources Related to Communication!”

Transition planning helps students with disabilities and their families get ready for life after high school and helps bridge supports between youth and adult service systems. It includes planning and preparing for employment, further education or training, and living independently.

This resource provides information on how to ensure access to effective communication while supporting individuals during the transition process.

This resource bundle includes transition information on the following:

  • American Sign Language
  • Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC)
  • Limited English Proficiency (LEP)
  • Speech and Blind/Visual Impairment
  • Tactile Communication
  • Visual Gestural Communication

The Transition Planning for Communication Resource is also found on MyODP.

Please contact the ODP Special Populations Unit via email with any questions.
