The Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) 2023 Supporting Families Survey is now available! We’re letting individual and family stakeholders know the survey is available and providing them with information on how to access it. The survey may be completed in a number of ways: • Digital Version – This could be emailed and includes the link to the survey as well as the QR code to access the survey • Printable Version – This could be printed and mailed and includes the QR code to access the survey • Texting – the QR code itself could also be texted by itself; the information on the flyers is included on the first page of the survey For Those Who Need Help Taking the Survey Both flyers explain how to request help taking the survey by sending an email to ra-pwodp_outreach@pa.gov. Once a request is received, the person will be called by a member of the PA Community of Practice (CoP) for Supporting Families Leadership Team. They will be asked the questions over the phone, and the person assisting will enter their responses. This is a great opportunity for people who have limited or no access to the internet. The survey was developed by the PA Community of Practice (CoP) for Supporting Families Leadership Team as the measure for our Quality Management Plan for Supporting Families. The results of the 2021 Survey showed that 70% of families have the information and support that they need when and how they need it. In 2023, we hope to learn more about how people want to receive support and topics of information across all life domains that people would find helpful. It is hoped that this survey will help ODP, Supports Coordinators and Organizations as well as Administrative Entities to know more about how to support people in the context of their families. If you would like further information about the CoP for Supporting Families or the Quality Management Plan and/or survey, please contact Candida Walton at cawalton@pa.gov.
