YOUR VOICE MATTERS

Don't forget! We need your help. Every five years, the Pennsylvania Developmental Disabilities Council (PADDC) is required to create a State Plan to guide its work. Creating the plan involves gathering information about the current barriers and concerns faced by individuals with developmental disabilities and their families in Pennsylvania. One way we collect information is by seeking input from Pennsylvania residents with developmental disabilities, their families and other involved parties. We have created a survey for this purpose. Link to survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/XBDKFYT

The survey takes about 10 minutes to complete. We will use the information from your response to help develop our next state plan. If you have questions or need help completing the survey, please reach out by email to the Council at: [email protected] or you can call the Council at 717-787-6057 or 1-877-685-4452. Thank you for your help!!
