SHARE YOUR IDEAS FOR DDD's FIVE YEAR STRATEGIC PLAN
DDD is working to develop a new five-year Strategic Plan starting in FY26. To develop the Strategic Plan, DDD is asking stakeholders to share your perspectives on where you want DDD services and supports to go in the next five years and how you want DDD to focus policy and funding to get there. We want to hear as many voices as possible through the survey below, 3 townhall meetings, individual and small group feedback sessions, focus groups and a review of data and previous published reports. To help with this effort, we ask you to:
Complete the Strategic Planning Survey
We are asking ALL individuals receiving services, families, service providers and their front-line staff, Independent Service Coordinators (ISC) and their staff, advocates, state staff, and other stakeholders to complete the below survey. We want to hear from everyone about your top five priorities for the new FY26-30 Division of Developmental Disabilities Five Year Strategic Plan. These priorities should reflect the services and supports you want to see expanded, new initiatives you would like to see developed and areas where you would like to see greater investment as well as where you would like to see DDD prioritize its efforts. Below is the survey in English and Spanish.
Please share with your networks. Send any questions to DHS.DDDComments@illinois.gov.
Attend DDD Strategic Planning Townhall Meetings
In addition to the survey above, DDD is holding three townhall meetings to hear from individuals, families, providers, and other stakeholders directly. Please join us for one of the following by registering through the below links.
Thank you to all those who have already contributed to the ideas and information gathering efforts for the Strategic Plan development. DDD intends to share the Strategic Plan for FY26 in July and work with stakeholders to begin implementation. Please note, even once this Strategic Plan has been published, it will be an organic document that can evolve, grown and change with the changing legislative and funding landscape.
