In partnership with the Ohio Department of Education (ODE), our associates design, distribute, and report results of a state-wide family survey for families of students with disabilities, leveraging current research in high impact family engagement, culturally responsive practices, and effective survey methodology.  The “mobile friendly” survey is available in English, Spanish, Somali, Nepali, Arabic and Chinese.  This survey, while directly supporting ODE’s federal accountability to report the Special Education, Indicator 8, also provides ODE and Ohio Local Education Agencies and their partners with valuable information for improving services to families of students with disabilities.
