LOOKING FOR ASSISTANCE

The Policy and Quality Subcommittee of the Advisory Council on Quality (ACQ) serves as an advisory group focused on improving policies and service quality for individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (I/DD). This subcommittee:

• Reviews and recommends DDSD policies to the full Advisory Council.
• Focuses on quality improvement in service delivery systems.
• Incorporates input from external and internal stakeholders.
• Meets regularly (bi-monthly) to address ongoing policy and quality initiatives.

It contributes to DDSD’s broader commitment to service quality, performance measurement, and collaboration with providers through efforts including service standards, clinical initiatives, and quality assurance activities.

Attendees
The attending group should be balanced and include self-advocates, families, provider agencies, advocacy agencies and other interested parties. Attendance is not limited to ACQ members.
