Durante el último año, el Consejo de Oregon sobre Discapacidades del Desarrollo (OCDD) ha estado elaborando nuestro próximo plan quinquenal. Este plan guiará el trabajo que realiza el OCDD para mejorar la vida de las personas con discapacidad intelectual y del desarrollo (I/DD) y de sus familias.

El OCDD encuestó a casi 800 personas con discapacidad intelectual y del desarrollo, familiares y personas que trabajan en servicios para personas con discapacidad del desarrollo, con el fin de averiguar qué es lo más importante para ellos. El OCDD también analizó datos estatales y nacionales y conversó con agencias asociadas para asegurarnos de comprender qué oportunidades existen para mejorar la vida de las personas con discapacidad intelectual y del desarrollo (IDD), mejorar los servicios y sistemas relacionados con la discapacidad del desarrollo (DD) y generar un cambio positivo.

Queremos conocer su opinión sobre nuestro borrador del plan. ¡Únase a nosotros en una sesión de escucha para compartir lo que piensa sobre nuestro borrador del Plan Quinquenal! Habrá interpretación al español disponible.

Over the past year, the Oregon Council on Developmental Disabilities (OCDD) has been drafting our next 5-Year Plan. This plan will guide the work that OCDD does to improve the lives of people with I/DD and their families.

OCDD surveyed almost 800 people with IDD, family members, and people working in DD services to find out what is most important to them. OCDD also looked at statewide and national data and talked with agency partners to make sure we understand what opportunities there are to improve the lives of people with IDD, improve DD services and systems, and create positive change.

We want your feedback on our drafted plan. Please join us for a listening session to let us know what you think about our drafted 5-Year Plan! Spanish interpretation will be available.
