DCF Survey

 The New Jersey Department of Children and Families' Children's System of Care is collaborating with Rutgers, Eagleton Center for Public Interest Polling to conduct a survey regarding experiences of New Jersey families who have children with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities (whether diagnosed or not). The survey is approximately 30-60 minutes long, depending on the number of children and time spent on open-ended responses. 

 

The survey must be filled out online by a parent/caregiver/guardian who is 18 or older. 


Parents/caregivers/guardians may receive notice of the survey through multiple channels, but should not respond more than once. The link will take you to a page with more information about the study.
