Family Surveys National Core Indicators (NCI)

December 30, 2025

The California Department of Developmental Services (DDS) wants to hear from families to find out if they are satisfied with regional center services. The State Council on Developmental Disabilities has been contracted to collect this information through the National Core Indicators (NCI) Survey. This NCI Survey gives individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities (I/DD) and their families the opportunity to voluntarily and confidentially participate in surveys to share their experiences on access to and use of regional center and community services.

We know your time is valuable, but if you receive this survey, we ask that you please take a moment to complete the survey and return it in the enclosed postage-paid envelope within 10 days or as soon as possible. Your participation is voluntary. Your family will not be identified in any way.

Survey responses will:

  • Help California learn how it is doing compared to other states.
  • Help the regional centers see what they are doing well and what they can improve.

If you have any questions, please email us at QAPROJECT@scdd.ca.gov.
