North Carolina's DHHS Division of State Operated Health Care Facilities ( DSOHF) has contracted with the Carolina Institute for Developmental Disabilities ( CIDD) to create a questionnaire/survey to be used in the State Developmental Centers ( SDC). Centers are in Butner, Kinston and Morganton. The purpose of the questionnaire is to determine if residents with intellectual and developmental disabilities are interested in community living.

1. Travel to the assigned SDC using their own transportation.
2. Independently conduct the standardized questionnaire using tablet and laptop computers provided by CIDD to record responses
3. Complete all required documentation according to the established protocol.
4. Attend all required trainings
