Hello Community Member

Welcome to the Callaway County Special Services’ Community Needs Survey.

Callaway County Special Services (CCSS) is an internationally accredited organization providing services for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We are a locally funded political subdivision of Callaway County, and we are developing our next five-year strategic plan.

We want to hear your thoughts on what is going well for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) in Callaway County and where improvements are needed. This information will help us plan activities and programs that make Callaway County more welcoming, inclusive, and accessible for people with disabilities and their families. We want to know what is working and what isn’t working. We want to hear your voice. Your answers can influence change. TT2 Consulting LLC is conducting the Community Needs Assessment Survey on behalf of Callaway County Special Services.

If you have already received and completed this survey, thank you and we are grateful for your contribution. We look forward to reviewing your input. If you have not had the opportunity to provide your input, we ask that you complete the survey by November 1st.

Please Review these Important Details about Confidentiality and Consent:

Your Input is Important: You are being asked to complete this survey because you are a person with IDD or a person who is responsible for an individual with an IDD. You may also be a person who is an advocate, educator, service provider, or state or local government official, for individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities. The survey is being conducted by CCSS and TT2 Consulting and should take approximately 10 minutes to complete.

Your Confidentiality is Important: Researchers from TT2 Consulting will administer the survey and collect the data. Your responses will be kept confidential and your ability to access services from CCSS or other providers will not be affected regardless of whether you decide to complete this survey. Your responses will be combined with those from other respondents when reporting results.

This is Voluntary: Taking this survey is voluntary, though we hope you will consider providing your input so services can be shaped through your feedback.

If you have questions about the survey or if you need an accommodation to complete this survey, please contact consultant Terry Trafton at TT2 Consulting LLC at the following email address: Terry@TT2consulting.net.

Thank you in advance for your opinions and thoughts!
Sincerely,
Mike Lederle, Executive Director
