Community Survey Research Project

Community Survey Research Project

What is the Community Survey Research Project?

The Colorado Developmental Disabilities Council is conducting a Community Survey for People with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD). This survey is being administered by the Colorado Office of Employment First through grant funding. 

Why This Matters.

Your feedback will help ensure that vital services remain available and effective. It will also provide critical data to support funding for programs for people with IDD. Now is the time to create the future of disability justice.

Who is eligible to participate in the research project?

Individuals with IDD; family members, caregivers, and service providers may assist in responding on behalf of a person with IDD. We are interested in hearing from people who have never used services, people who used to use services and people who are currently using services. You must currently live in Colorado to participate.

How do I participate in the study?

There are two ways to participate. People may participate in one or both options.

  • Complete an anonymous survey. Extended survey deadline is Sunday, August 10th at 11:59pm MT.
  • Participate in a focus group.

The Colorado Office of Employment First sits under JFK Partners, the state’s University Center of Excellence in Developmental Disabilities, a program of the University of Colorado School of Medicine. Its creation was envisioned by Colorado Employment First Advisory Partnership (EFAP), a multi-state agency and stakeholder-led collaborative, and was made possible, in part, by funding from the Colorado Legislature and generously matched through the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR) at the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment (CDLE).
