The Arizona Developmental Disabilities Planning Council (DDPC) was established by Governor Jan Brewer through Executive Order enacted on September 3, 2009. The DDPC is the successor organization to the Governor’s Council on Developmental Disabilities which was allowed to sunset by State Legislative authority and disbanded on July 1, 2009.
The DDPC was established pursuant to Public Law 106-402, also known as the Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act of 2000. The mission of the DDPC is to represent the interests and needs of persons with developmental disabilities with particular attention dedicated to persons who are unserved or underserved throughout the State of Arizona.
The related purpose of the DDPC is to engage in advocacy, capacity building and systemic change to increase inclusion and involvement in the community. In following the established mission and purpose, the DDPC strives to achieve the essence of the Developmental Disabilities Act by promoting self-determination, independence, productivity and integration to support persons with developmental disabilities and their families in all facets of community life. |
