Spiritual Life Assessments

Dear Friends,

As you may know, the Religion and Spirituality Division of AAIDD has a working group examining spiritual assessments and the ways that spirituality ties into planning practices and quality of life for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We are particularly interested in those supports by provider agencies. This brief survey will assist us in knowing more about what people are already doing and some best practices.

Thank you for your help.
