SPPC

Focus Areas

The Statewide Planning and Policy Council (SPPC) collaborates on issues affecting the department, providers, families, and advocates. Recommendations were submitted to the department surrounding issues that face those with intellectual and developmental disabilities, including but not limited to finding solutions to the ongoing DSP workforce crisis, the expansion of Enabling Technology, transportation, and affordable housing.

The SPPC has played an important role in the development and improvement of DIDD programs and policies. Therefore, the council will be an important voice in assisting the department in creating and developing IDD Program Integration as a feedback stakeholder group.
