NCI - National Core Indicators

National Core Indicators (NCI) is a collaborative effort between the National Association of State Directors of Developmental Disabilities Services (NASDDDS) and the Human Services Research Institute (HSRI). NCI uses a series of surveys to measure member satisfaction and efficacy of DDD programs and services. The purpose of the program is to support NASDDDS member agencies to gather a standard set of performance and outcome measures that can be used to:

• Track Performance Over Time
• Compare Results Across States
• Establish National Benchmarks

Arizona was one of the first fifteen states to participate in 1997 to charter the work with 39 states now participating and contributing resources to develop valid and reliable data collection protocols.
