The NCI program is a voluntary effort by state developmental
disability agencies to track their performance using a
standardized set of consumer and family/guardian surveys with
nationally validated measures. The effort is coordinated by the
National Association of State Directors of Developmental
Disabilities Services (NASDDDS) and the Human Services Research
Institute (HSRI).
NCI has developed more than 100 standard performance measures (or
‘indicators’) that states use to assess the outcomes of services
for individuals and families, including outcomes in the areas of
employment, rights, service planning, community inclusion,
choice, health, and safety.
