| Developmental Disabilities Planning Council (DDPC) |
| |
By Executive Order Governor Brewer established the Developmental Disabilities Planning Council (DDPC) on September 3, 2009. This is the successor organization to the Governor’s Council on Developmental Disabilities which was sunsetted by the State Legislature and disbanded on July 1, 2009. By that order, membership of the Council was reconstituted and Mr. Stephen Tully was named Chair and Ms. Karla Phillips was named Vice-Chair.
The DDPC was established pursuant to the Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act of 2000 (Public Law 106-402). The purpose of the Council is to engage in advocacy, capacity building and systemic change activities for individuals with developmental disabilities and their families. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration on Developmental Disabilities is the federal administrating agency.
A primary activity of the Council is to develop a five-year State Plan. After conducting comprehensive research and analysis on issues that affect persons with developmental disabilities, the State Plan summarizes how services and programs (e.g. employment, health, housing, recreation, child-care, etc.) should be structured within the State of Arizona.
The essence of the Act is to assure that individuals with developmental disabilities and their families participate in the design of, and have access to needed community services, individualized supports and other forms of assistance that promote self-determination, independence, productivity and integration and inclusion in all facets of community life. |
