Developmental Disabilities Planning
Council The Developmental
Disabilities Planning Council is a 23-member council comprised of
individuals with developmental disabilities, family members of individuals
with disabilities and representatives of state agencies that provide services
to individuals with developmental disabilities. Every five years, the Council develops and
implements a state plan that addresses specific priorities. The Council's current plan includes
objectives in the areas of education, employment, formal and informal
community supports and quality assurance.
The Council implements the goals and objectives of the five-year state
plan through systemic change, capacity building and advocacy activities. Northern Arizona
University The Institute provides the bridge between the
rich resources that an academic institution has to the developmental
disability service delivery system. The mission of the Institute is to
enhance the capacity of a statewide system of support of persons with
disabilities and their families. The Institute implements its mission through
interdisciplinary training, promotion of exemplary community service
programs, provision of technical assistance at all
levels and research and evaluation that is disseminated to targeted groups in
the field. Sonoran
UCEDD Center of Excellence The Sonoran UCEDD
is based on the vision of a community benefiting
from the full participation of all members, with recognition of the strengths
brought by diversity in abilities, culture, age, and life-experience. The Sonoran UCEDD supports full participation by people with
developmental disabilities in all aspects of community life. It focuses on
developing best practices, dissemination and training, and public policy to
support effective transitions through adulthood for people with developmental
disabilities and their families, and improved services to Hispanic/Latino
individuals with developmental disabilities and their families, and to rural
and border populations. The Center is located within the Department of Family
and Community Medicine at the University of Arizona. |
