Abstract
Five Illinois groups make up the Illinois Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) System Redesign Coalition. These groups are: *Illinois Association of Rehabilitation Facilities *The Institute on Public Policy for People with Disabilities *The Center for Developmental Disabilities and Community Supports *The Arc of Illinois *UIC Institute of Disability and Human Development (IDHD) The Coalition tries to make things better in the Illinois IDD system. The Coalition works with other partners, too. The Coleman Foundation pays for the Coalition’s work. IDHD researchers helped The Arc get feedback from people in Illinois who are part of the IDD system. IDHD created an online survey to ask people about their needs. IDHD also looked at case management in other states to see what Illinois can learn from them. IDHD is planning to make a website with data. The data will support advocacy to make things better in Illinois. https://disabilitypartnersil.org
