The Arc FINDS Survey for Family Caregivers

The Arc of the United States is sponsoring a nationwide survey of caregivers called the Family and Individual Needs for Disability Supports (FINDS) Survey. The previous FINDS survey from 2010 had some eye opening statistics, but only about 5400 total responders.

With the new year comes a new. We need your input! The Research and Training Center on Community Living at the University of Minnesota, in collaboration with The Arc, is seeking caregivers to share their perceptions on a range of life-span issues impacting individuals with I/DD. The Arc invites people aged 18 years or older who provide frequent primary support to a person with I/DD to participate. Take the survey.
