Developmental Services (DDS) to assess performance in services and

supports provided to individuals with intellectual/developmental

disabilities (I/DD).

• Why do we do it? The NCI survey has been used in California since

2010 as a requirement by the Welfare and Institutions Code, Section

4571 to implement a nation-wide quality assessment survey.

• How is it used? Data is used to compare California to other states and

Regional Center performance in a variety of domains via National,

Dashboards that are made public on the DDS website.
