5 Yeasr Plan Study [ [link removed] ]

The Minnesota Governor’s Council on Developmental Disabilities is pleased to announce the results of a statewide survey to provide input for the next Five-Year Plan. This study is conducted periodically to evaluate how individuals with developmental disabilities perceive their levels of independence, productivity, self-determination, integration, and inclusion (IPSII).

315 respondents participated, with a notably higher proportion of Self Advocates compared to previous years, impacting the overall analysis. The survey reveals both progress and persistent challenges. Positive developments include enhanced awareness and legislative gains yet concerns about funding cuts and systemic barriers like transportation remain.

In-depth interviews with individuals with developmental disabilities, family members, and subject matter experts revealed that strides have been made in social interaction, public perceptions, and technology access. However, these interviews also stressed the urgency of addressing critical issues such as competitive integrated employment, inclusive education, and improved service accessibility in the coming years.
