This report contains regional center level results from California’s statewide National Core Indicator (NCI) Adult Family Survey data collection from fiscal year 2013-2014 (FY 13/14) in accordance with Welfare and Institutions Code (WIC), Section 4571. WIC, Section 4571 directs the Department of Developmental Services (DDS) to collect accurate, reliable, and valid consumer and family satisfaction measures as well as individual outcome data. In California, data from this project will be used to review and benchmark statewide and regional center developmental disability service system performance. This report shows Adult Family Survey findings from Far Northern Regional Center (FNRC) compared to the California statewide and NCI averages. Regional centers can use this report to help guide strategic planning and monitor systemic changes.
The NCI program is a voluntary effort by state developmental disability agencies to gauge and track their own performance using a common and nationally validated set of measures. The effort is coordinated by the National Association of State Directors of Developmental Disabilities Services (NASDDDS) in collaboration with the Human Services Research Institute (HSRI). NCI has developed a set of more than 100 standard performance measures (or “indicators”) that states use to assess the outcomes of services provided to individuals and their families. These indicators focus on areas such as: employment, rights, service planning, community inclusion, choice, health, and safety. During the 2013-14 data collection cycle, 40 states, the District of Columbia and 22 sub-state entities participated in NCI.
