The Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act of 2000 requires State/Territory Councils on Developmental Disabilities (DD Councils) to include members with developmental disabilities in their work. DD Council executive directors are responsible for providing leadership to support the social inclusion of members with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Social inclusion is connected to social justice and equality and without information to assist executive directors in providing leadership to support the social inclusion of members; there may be a greater chance for inequality and marginalization of people with developmental disabilities to occur. The purpose of this qualitative single-case study with embedded units was to explore perceptions of executive directors about their knowledge, supports, impact, and preparation strategies to support the social inclusion of members with developmental disabilities in council work. Three sources of data were collected for the study: (1) semi-structured interviews with 12 directors; (2) one focus group with three directors; and review of 16 DD council program archival documents. Answers to the research questions were derived by triangulating data from the three sources. The findings revealed that the participants' perceptions about information, education, and skills to support the social inclusion of members with intellectual and developmental disabilities were adequate. Additionally, all study participants used administrative supports and various levels of structural and programmatic supports as part of their social inclusion processes when engaged in council work. The findings also showed participants' preparations taken to know the individual member with intellectual and developmental disability was perceived as a central way to impact social inclusion. It was recommended that guidance materials be developed to address information, knowledge, and skills viewed as important to supporting social inclusion. In addition, it was recommended that professional, in-depth, focused training, and skill development be conducted annually. Recommendations for future research included (a) formal knowledge requirements for leaders, (b) individual skills and the impact of the skill on social inclusion processes, (c) exploring preparation and actions by other DD council staff members relates to social inclusion processes, and (d) examining the impact of personal development activities on social inclusion processes.
