Olmstead Act Plan Survey
In order to obtain input from stakeholders who were not able to participate in an Olmstead Planning Listening Session, the Technical Assistance Collaborative (TAC) has adapted the Listening Session polling questions into a survey. The survey asks about strengths, gaps, challenges, and ideas stakeholders have regarding services and supports for North Carolinians with disabilities, including children, youth, adults, and older adults. The results of the survey will help to inform TAC’s analysis of the states’ resources/services and the recommendations for the states’ Olmstead Plan. Survey responses will be anonymous and data will be collected by TAC (via TAC’s Survey Monkey account). The survey will be open for responses through September 22, 2020.
