National Core Indicators Survey
The National Core Indicators (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.
Survey responses help California learn how it is doing compared to other states.
Survey responses help the regional centers see what they are doing well and what they can improve.
