WISCONSIN BOARD FOR PEOPLE WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES: 2017-2018 Annual Report
|
Each year WI BPDD is required to report out on our projects/events and how they have contributed to their five year state plan.The report details their Board’s mission, membership, goals, accomplishments, and budget. Below is a link to their 2017-2018 Annual Report. Their federal charge in the Developmental Disabilities Act is identifying the most pressing needs of people with developmental disabilities and developing innovative and cost-effective ways to meet these needs in a manner that upholds human and civil value. Councils (Boards) must include, at minimum, 60% people with developmental disabilities and their family members. The BPDD State Plan, informed by statewide input from the disability community, focuses primarily on two areas: Full Participation in the Community & Advocacy Efforts. During 2017–2018, they have made significant progress in all of their goal areas. You can find a link to their current 5 year state-plan below. If you or somebody you know is interested in getting involved with one of BPDD's events or projects contact Jeremy Gundlach at 608-266-7826 or at jeremy.gundlach@wisconsin.gov. |
