| Description |
In each state, Federal law (PL 106-402), the Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights act of 2000, or DD Act) creates a state network that includes the NCCDD, a protection and advocacy system, and a university affiliated program to promote independence, productivity, integration, and freedom of choice for persons with developmental disabilities. The NCCDD advances this philosophy through the development of its Five Year State Plan. The committee structure of the NCCDD (Advocacy and Leadership, Community Capacity Building, and Disability Systems Change) reflects the major focus of the Council to meet goals within the Plan. While organizationally situated within the Office of the Secretary of the DHHS, the NCCDD works closely with public agencies and private not-for-profit organizations to achieve desired outcomes as specified in the Five Year State Plan |
