The Texas Council for Developmental Disabilities has organized its proposed activities into eight target areas. These target areas broadly describe the goals the Council wants to achieve to move closer to independence, productivity, integration and inclusion of people with developmental disabilities. Each target area is supported by a broad outcome statement and followed by objectives, strategies and activities to address the target. People have control, choice and flexibility in the services and supports they receive. People obtain and keep community integrated employment consistent with their interests, abilities and preferences.
Adults choose where and with whom they live.
People are healthy and benefit from a full range of needed health services. Students reach their educational and developmental potential. People with developmental disabilities, their families and the communities in which they live have opportunities to build and expand opportunities to achieve the maximum potential for independence, productivity and integration of individuals with developmental disabilities into the community. The Council and its Committees receive staff and administrative supports to implement the council s mission and goals. Objectives, strategies and activities for each target area are listed in the Council's State Plan .
