Three Assessments, One Complete Picture

Each assessment can be completed independently or together for a comprehensive inclusion profile of any community facility.

On-site Assessment

49 questions~30–60 min

The goal of this assessment is to determine how easy it is to move around the facility and the inclusion characteristics of the facility for children with disabilities. Assessors will answer questions for facilities in the four community sectors: education, health, public spaces, and community institutions/organizations. The questions are intended to help understand the ease or difficulty of accessing the facility for a child with a disability and their family.

Organizational Assessment

25 questions~15–30 min

Responses to this assessment's questions should be provided by or with the help of the facility. An online version can be sent to the facility to be completed by the representative or staff. The goals are: 1) to list sites that offer activities and resources for children with disabilities, and 2) to obtain information about programs, policies, and the general attitude of the site toward promoting inclusive health. If a site is difficult to reach by phone or email, assessors are advised to visit directly and conduct the assessment as an interview.

Macro Community Assessment

27 questions~30–45 min

The macro-community assessment questions relate to transportation services and policies, community design policies and programs, and community wellness initiatives. Responses should reflect currently available programs and initiatives. Assessors answer these questions by conducting online research and interviewing representatives from local transportation agencies and community planners.
