Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
Title: National Outcomes Survey for People with Developmental
Disabilities.
OMB No.: New Collection.
Description: In October 1997 the Administration on Developmental
Disabilities entered into a Cooperative Agreement with the Council on
Quality and Leadership in Supports for People with Disabilities by
which the National Center on Outcomes Research was established. The
Cooperative Agreement included the development of a prototypical survey
to determine the extent to which persons with developmental
disabilities and their family members believe that they are able to
make choices and exercise self-determination. The survey has been
developed and ADD hopes to field test it during the first quarter of FY
1999. The survey will address both consumer satisfaction issues and
measurable outcomes regarding health, housing, education, and
employment.
The information from this survey will be used to measure
performance and report the degree to which goals were met as required
in the Government Performance and Results Act.
It is also anticipated that the results of this survey will be used
to assess current public and private programs and to determine areas in
which human services programs should be developed, modified, or
terminated.
Respondents: Individuals or Households.
