Abstract
Description
The strategic plan was developed over the course of almost two years (2007-2009). National and Delaware data sources regarding health and disability issues were analyzed to reveal health issues and gaps in services for individuals with disabilities. The Advisory Council, comprised of individuals with disabilities, family members, and representatives from state agencies, community health and disability organizations, and advocacy and support groups, reviewed data sources and created the goals, objectives, and activities in this plan. The HDWD:BtG project staff compiled the information and created the final strategic plan that was reviewed by the Advisory Council and various stakeholders in the disability and health communities.
