The Washington State Developmental Disabilities Council is gathering feedback to better understand the barriers and challenges faced by people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families in Washington state. This input will directly influence the Council’s 5 Year State Plan. 

We need your help to ensure voices from all communities are heard, especially those in underserved or underrepresented areas. Here’s how you can support this effort: 

• Take the survey – Share your own insights and experiences by completing the survey here: ly/WADDCSurvey
• Share the survey – Help spread the word by sharing our posts on Facebook and LinkedIn with your networks. 
• Distribute the flyer – Share the PDF flyer in your newsletters, social media pages, or community meetings, available here: 5 Year State Plan Survey (flyer). 
• Direct people to our website – More information is available at DDC 5 Year State Plan Survey | WADDC. 

The survey closes on July 21, 2025, and is available in multiple languages to ensure accessibility for diverse communities. We encourage you to share it widely, so all voices can contribute to shaping the future of intellectual and developmental disabilities services and advocacy in Washington State. 

Your outreach is vital in reaching individuals who may not otherwise have access to this survey. Together, we can ensure that all voices are heard and represented in our work to build a more inclusive and supportive Washington.
