A Developmental Disabilities Council Program Performance Report is required by federal statute. Each State Developmental Disabilities Council must submit an annual report for the preceding fiscal year of activities and accomplishments. Information provided in the Program Performance Report will be used (1) in the preparation of the Annual Report to the President, the Congress and the National Council on Disabilities and (2) to provide a national perspective on a program accomplishments and continuing challenges.
US Code:
42 USC 107a
Name of Law: Developmental Disabilities Assistance Act
This revision of a currently approved information collection (ICR-Rev) will increase burden. The burden is primarily due to the incorporation of new performance measures into the FFY2017-2021 state plan cycle. These measures will hone in on individual and family advocacy, as well as systems change advocacy. One example of these measures is a reporting of the number of promising and/or best practices improved as a result of systems change activities. The PPR is an opportunity for Councils to report on the actual data and outcomes that resulted from carrying out the new State plan activities. The proposed revisions to the PPR form were reviewed and pilot tested by a Performance Measures Workgroup consisting of nine (9) State Council representatives. This workgroup deemed the PPR revisions necessary to accurately capture and report on the progress of the State Councils. A separate workgroup consisting of nine (9) different State Council representatives further discussed data collection methodologies as it relates to the proposed PPR template. The new performance measures will offer a comprehensive categorization and approach to collecting data necessary to report to Congress and other interested entities.
