Title: Developmental Disabilities
Program Independent Evaluation
Project.
OMB No.: 0970–0372.
Description: The National
Independent Study of the State
Developmental Disabilities Programs
(National Study) is an independent
(non-biased) study to examine through
rigorous and comprehensive research
procedures the three programs funded
under the Developmental Disabilities
Assistance and Bill of Rights Act of
2000 (DD Act): (1) State Councils on
Developmental Disabilities (SCDDs);
(2) State Protection and Advocacy
Systems for Individuals with
developmental disabilities (P&As); and
(3) University Centers for Excellence in
Developmental Disabilities (UCEDDs).
The purpose of the study is to assess
program effectiveness and
achievements, including collaborative
efforts among these State developmental
disabilities (DD) network programs. A
component of the study will be an
examination of the Administration on
Developmental Disabilities’ efficiency
and effectiveness to support these DD
Network programs. The results of this
evaluation will provide a report to the
Administration on Developmental
Disabilities (ADD) (the agency that
administers these programs) with
information on the effectiveness of its
programs and policies and serve as a
way for ADD to promote accountability
to the public.
The independent study is a response
to accountability requirements for ADD
as identified in the Developmental
Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights
Act of 2000 (DD Act), the Government
Performance and Results Act (GPRA) of
1993, and the Program Assessment
Rating Tool (PART), previously
administered by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB).
ADD has OMB approval for all the
evaluation tools (e.g., data collection
instruments) for this study, except a
new one being proposed. The new
evaluation tool would be an on-line
survey tool designed to collect data for
an assessment of ADD.
Respondents: For the ADD assessment
survey being added, the respondents
would be Staff of State Councils on
Developmental Disabilities, State
Protection and Advocacy Systems for
Individuals with developmental
disabilities, and University Centers for
Excellence in Developmental
Disabilities, Education, Research, and
Service
