State Plan
Every five years, the WVDDC develops a State Plan. The plan entails a comprehensive review of major service systems and issues in West Virginia where we outline goals, objectives and specific activities that will be implemented to bring about change. The State Plan guides the Council regarding how staff and fiscal resources are allocated. The Council State Plan is developed in accordance with the Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act of 2000.
