Your Input Needed! What Should GCDD Work on in the Next Five Years?
Written by GCDD on . Feature Story, GCDD Updates.
The Georgia Council on Developmental Disabilities (GCDD) completed its information gathering process for the 2027-2031 Five-Year Strategic Plan. The feedback collected from across the state helped build a new strategic plan aimed at creating systems change for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) and their families. The final plan decides how GCDD will spend funding on advocacy and capacity-building activities.
As part of the process, GCDD conducted focus groups, large townhall meetings and shared surveys with families, self-advocates, and providers to identify where funding and programming were needed most.
Public comments are now being gathered on the proposed 2027-2031 Strategic Plan. A 45-day public comment period is underway, and all are welcome to review the plan and share their thoughts.
Comments can be submitted in English at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/5DR2B5S and in Spanish at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/R7JF7QT. The deadline to submit comments is June 19, 2026.
