Overview
Welcome to the Illinois Coalition for I/DD System Redesign, a broad-based effort aimed at co-creating a shared vision for the future of the Illinois Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (I/DD) service system. Our commitment is to transform the I/DD system in Illinois into a more person-centered, efficient, and integrated model.

Who We Are
We are a collaborative coalition of stakeholders comprised of agency leaders, policymakers, advocates, and individuals directly impacted by I/DD services in Illinois. Together, we aim to explore innovative solutions and build a framework for a system that not only meets needs but creates opportunities for people with I/DD diagnoses to thrive.

Why Now?
In the wake of historic investments in our field, the time is ripe for a deep, collective re-evaluation of our system's infrastructure. We must take this moment to move from incremental change to transformational progress.

What's Our Goal
Our primary goal is to begin the process of building a unified vision for the future of the I/DD system in Illinois. This vision aims to:
- Shift from a service-oriented model to a person-centered system.
- Create a seamless, integrated system that addresses current and long-term needs across the entire I/DD spectrum.
