The 2008 Family and Guardian Satisfaction Survey is now underway - Monday, Aug 25, 2008

September 2, 2008 To Families and Guardians of People with Developmental Disabilities Greetings! On behalf of the Persons with Developmental Disabilities (PDD) South Board, I invite you to participate in our 2008 Family & Guardian Satisfaction Survey. We conduct this survey every two years to assess your level of satisfaction with the PDD-funded services available to your family member or the person whom you represent. Your responses are very important and help us to better understand your needs and expectations. In addition to the paper survey, new this year for your convenience, you can complete the survey online using the link provided in your survey package. If you complete the survey online, please do not complete the paper survey included in the package. You should only complete 1 version of the survey. All survey responses are anonymous and you will not be personally identified in any way. If you complete the paper survey, please send your completed surveys to the Vocational and Rehabilitation Research Institute (VRRI) using the stamped and self-addressed envelope enclosed in your survey package. If you complete the survey online, you should not send in the paper copy of the survey as your responses will be electronically recorded. The VRRI will analyze the survey results independently and prepare a report. If you require any help in order to complete the survey, please contact Nina Lommerts at (403) 381-5777 or nina.lommerts@gov.ab.ca. If your phone call is long distance, phone 310-0000 first, and tell the person the phone number listed above. Please send in your survey by October 10th, 2008. Thank you for taking the time to help us improve services and supports for people with developmental disabilities. We look forward to your response. Sincerely, Lorne Abells Chairperson, PDD South Board
