The National Core Indicators (NCI) Survey is used by the California Department of Developmental Services (DDS) to assess performance in services and supports provided to people with intellectual/developmental disabilities (I/DD). The NCI survey has been used in California since 2010 as a requirement by the Welfare and Institutions Code, Section 4571 to implement a nationwide quality assessment survey.
The survey was developed by the Human Services Research Institute and the National Association of State Directors of Developmental Disabilities Services (NASDDDS) and is used in 48 states and Washington, D.C. In California, the NCI Survey is conducted by the State Council on Developmental Disabilities (SCDD).
Welfare and Institutions Code, Section 4571(h)(1) also requires regional centers to annually present the data collected from the findings of the NCI surveys at a public meeting of its governing board. You may view the previous presentations to the community below. Similarly, notices for upcoming presentations will be posted here at least 30 days in advance of any meeting. There will be sufficient opportunities for any member of the public to provide comments during this public meeting.
All regional center-specific reports generated by DDS are available on our website. Interactive Dashboards, statewide reports, and additional details can also be found on the DDS website.
