The Supporting Families Community of Practice wants to know the highest priorities of individuals and families that include a person with Intellectual and/or Developmental Disabilities. Complete this survey to guide our work to support DC families.  Survey Closes August 15, 2023

About the DC Supporting Families Community of Practice (DC SFCoP): The DC SFCoP exists to enhance and drive policy, practice, and system transformation to support people with intellectual/developmental disabilities (IDD/DD) within the context of their families and communities. The DC SFCoP includes advocacy organizations, government, service providers, people with IDD/DD, and family members of people with IDD/DD working together. We want your feedback on your priorities so we can focus on the most important things to you. We also want to learn how best to communicate with you. We will use the information that you share with us to:

Plan engagement events to share information, including discussions about the areas that are the highest priority to DC families 

Identify areas where we need to increase partnerships and collaboration to address the priorities of families

Plan how best to share information and resources with families from the DC SFCoP and its partners.

Thank you very much for participating in the survey! We hope to see you virtually or in person at an engagement event soon.
