NCI - National Core Indicators
National Core Indicators (NCI) is a program that helps states understand how well services are working for people with developmental disabilities. NCI is a partnership between the National Association of State Directors of Developmental Disabilities Services and the Human Services Research Institute. NCI uses surveys to learn how satisfied members are and how well DDD programs and services are working.
The information collected helps states to:
- Track Performance Over Time
- Compare Results Across States
- Establish National Benchmarks
Arizona was one of the first fifteen states to join in 1997. Now, 39 states participate and share resources to create valid data collection protocols.
