Volunteers Needed to Test Our Quality and Outcomes Measures Survey.

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:

People with intellectual/developmental disabilities
Families and friends
Service providers
Regional Center directors
Experts from across the country

Now we 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?

If are 18 years or older, use Regional Center services and can answer questions about your life and the services your receive, please fill out 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.

Easy to read project information.

If you are a family member or advocate for someone with intellectual/developmental disabilities who receives Regional Center services, we would like you to test our "Representatives survey". You should know the person well (at least for a year). You should NOT be their paid support staff or service coordinator. You do not need to share the person's name or other identifying details.

If you are parent, sibling, grandparent, other relative or close friend of someone with an intellectual/developmental disability, we want your help testing our "Family and Friends Views and Experiences" survey. We want to learn more about how families and friends feel about the services their relative or friend receives.
