Opportunity of Public Feedback on GCDD’s 2027-2031 Five-Year Plan

Little Rock, Arkansas – January 15, 2026 – Every five years, the Arkansas Governor’s Council on Developmental Disabilities (GCDD) submits a plan to the federal government focused on improving the quality of life for Arkansans with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and their families through inclusion and participation in all aspects of community life in the Natural State.

To develop the 2027-2031 Five-Year Plan, GCDD spent 2025 asking Arkansans with IDD and their families what mattered most to them. Council members and staff reviewed the input and drafted goals and objectives for the next five years. GCDD is now asking for public feedback on the 2027-2031 draft of the Five-Year Plan.

The Council is accepting feedback through February 28, 2026.
