Disability & Aging Adults Needs Assessment & Landscape Analysis - Marin County

Limitless Connection Center (LCC), a Marin-based 501(c)(3), is conducting a community survey for people living with disabilities and aging adults. This survey is being administered by Mad Learning Lab, a San Francisco-based community research firm.

This survey was built to capture the experiences of a wide range of people who live with disabilities or the changes that come with aging. That means not all questions may pertain to you, and some may seem irrelevant. Please be patient with the survey tool, as we are trying to capture information from many different people.

We understand that some of these questions may be difficult to answer for someone else. Please do the best you can. We are trying to get baseline information on the experiences of the disabled and aging community in Marin, and your answers help us get there.

Raffle
As a thank you for your time, you can enter a raffle to win one of five $25 Visa gift cards. Entry is optional. To protect your privacy, the raffle is completely separate from the survey. At the end you will get a link to a separate form where you can enter your contact information. Your survey answers are never connected to your raffle entry, so your responses cannot be traced back to you. Winners will be drawn on October 16, 2026.

Why This Matters
Your feedback will help ensure that vital services remain available and effective. It will also provide critical data to support funding for programs for people living with disabilities and aging adults.

Survey Window
September 22 to October 22, 2026

Time Commitment
This survey will take anywhere from 15 to 25 minutes. It is built so that you can pause when you need to and pick up where you left off, as long as you continue on the same device.

What to Expect
You get to tell us what it means to you to have a meaningful and joyful life. We will also ask about services you use: Case Management, Employment, School, Healthcare, Housing, and Transportation. You can skip questions about services you do not use. There are no right or wrong answers.

Data Collection
Responses are confidential. We will not ask you to identify yourself to take this survey. The information collected will be kept secure on a password-protected drive and only accessible to the researchers for analysis purposes. Once the survey is complete, the overall results will be shared with Limitless Connection Center and their community without jeopardizing your identity.

Choice to Participate
You have a choice to participate in this study. Your participation is solicited, but strictly voluntary. Even if you agree to participate, you can stop at any time without penalty.

Benefit to You
This survey is not designed to benefit you directly. Your responses will help us advocate for changes to best support people living with disabilities and their families in Marin County.

Risk
Risks for this survey may include potential loss of confidentiality and discomfort in answering questions that may be sensitive. There may be risks the researchers have not thought of.
