Dear Readers:
The Wisconsin Council on Developmental Disabilities is
required by state and federal statute to advise the legislature and Governor
on the needs of individuals with disabilities. As part of its mission,
the Council obtains input from individuals with developmental disabilities
and their families, county social services systems, service providers,
and other sources. The Council endorses legislative positions based upon
the gathered information.
The 2001-2003 Legislative Initiatives endorsed by the
Council strive to wisely allocate public funds to bolster the contributions
made by families and others in the support of individuals with developmental
disabilities.
The Council recognizes the enormous financial and time
contributions currently made by families to enhance the lives of their
family members. However, the vast majority of families are not able to
act as the sole provider for individuals with developmental disabilities.
Publicly funded programs are essential to supporting individuals in their
communities and preventing out-of-home or institutional placements. Supporting
the Council's positions will help ensure that families and individuals
receive the supports they need.
As you review the 2001-2003 Legislative Initiatives, please
feel free to contact the Council with your questions and suggestions.
Sincerely,
Jim Strachota Chairperson
