State Plan Now Open For Public Comment
The New York State Council on Developmental Disabilities (CDD) supports programs across the State to positively impact the lives of people with developmental disabilities and those who support them.
The CDD’s work is guided by a federally required five-year plan called the “State Plan.” The CDD is required to prepare a new State Plan for 2027–2031 and submit it to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services – Administration for Community Living. Based on data and input gathered by the CDD from New Yorkers with DD, their family members and caregivers, staff who support people with DD, DD service providers, and others, the CDD developed goals and objectives for the new State Plan.
We are now asking the public to review our recommended plan and provide final comments. This should take about 5 minutes of your time. The comment period will be open until April 15, 2026. Thank you for your feedback.
