Hello Community Partners,
We Need Your Help!
Help Us Identify the Most Important PAVE Quality Indicators:
We have created lists of potential PAVE measures and are asking you to select the 10 most important and useful indicators from each list.
Please use the link below to learn more and make your selections. No personal information is required and a warm thank you to anyone who has already completed this exercise. Please do not complete it again

Details:
As many of you may know, CCLN has been working with DDS and the developmental disability community to develop the PAVE Service Outcomes System, a new system to measure and improve the quality of services for children and adults with developmental disabilities in California. You can find more information about the PAVE Service Outcomes Project on our website (https://www.ccln.org/About-PAVE).
One goal of PAVE-and a requirement of our DDS contract-is to recommend measures that could be used for the Quality Incentive Program (QIP).
The PAVE measures include many questions about service quality and outcomes. For QIP, we need to identify a smaller set of questions that best reflect high-quality services.
Our colleagues at University of Minnesota will combine responses to identify the top 10 core indicators and top 10 service-specific indicators. These recommendations will be shared with DDS along with information from other existing data sources.
Please note: We are not asking for feedback on the wording of the questions. The questions have already been extensively reviewed and may be revised later. We simply want to know which questions you believe are most important for identifying high-quality services.
We would like input from as many people as possible, including:
- Self-advocates
- Family members
- Service providers
- Regional center staff
- Other members of the developmental disability community
We particularly need those who are providing or receiving one of the four service types:
- Supported Living Services
- Independent Living services
- Supported Employment Services
- In Home Respite Services.
You can find more information on how these services are defined on our website: https://www.ccln.org/PAVE-Operational-Definitions
Thank you very much for your help!

We have paused our recruitment for the survey. We will be reaching out directly to people receiving Regional Center services and families to recruit volunteers to test Our Quality and Outcomes Measures Survey. In the meantime you can find information about this stage of the project below. The PAVE Service Outcomes Project’s goal is to find out how good people’s lives are when they receive services from Regional Centers in California. We also want to use what we learn to help make these services better. Many people with intellectual and developmental disabilities depend on services and support staff to live a good life. We want to learn if these services are actually helping. To do this, we created new surveys and tools with help from:
We will need your help to test these surveys before we use them statewide. We especially need people who receive Supported Living Services, Independent Living Services, Supported Employment, or In-Home Respite from their Regional Center. If you participate, you will receive a gift card for your time. Who can participate?The three groups of people who can participate are listed below. We will be reaching out to each group with more information soon. |
If are 18 years or older, use Regional Center services AND can answer questions about your life and the services your receive, you will be able to participate in our "Self Report" survey. You can have someone help you (for example, by reading the questions to you) but your answers must be your own.
