The workgroup shall include persons with developmental disabilities, family members, providers, and other system stakeholders. The workgroup shall develop recommendations on how to best achieve all of the following:
(1) The development and expansion of community-based models that provide an array of nonresidential options, including, but not limited to, participation in integrated instructive, social, civic, volunteer, and recreational activities.
(2) The development and expansion of community-based work activities, including, but not limited to, customized employment development, integrated job training, and employer-provided job coaching.
(3) The expansion of work opportunities in the public sector.
(4) The increased utilization of existing models, including, but not limited to, self-directed services, vouchers, family teaching models, existing habilitation, and supported work vendors to facilitate access to nontraditional community-based nonresidential activities.
(5) Strategies to promote and duplicate successful and innovative models developed in California and in other states.
(6) The identification of, and strategies to address, statutory, regulatory, licensing, vendor-related, funding and other types of barriers to achieving the goals identified in this act, including strategies to improve individualization of services and supports by increased flexibility in design, staffing, and compensation.
(b) By May 1, 2007, the State Council on Developmental Disabilities shall submit recommendations from the workgroup to the Governor and appropriate committees of the Legislature and may, thereafter, incorporate subsequent recommendations into its state plan developed pursuant to Section 4561.
