2009 Needs Assessment Survey

Every three years, the Jefferson Area Disability Board (DSB) assesses the needs of people with physical and sensory (hearing, sight, etc.) disabilities in the Thomas Jefferson Planning District (the City of Charlottesville and the Counties of Albemarle, Fluvanna, Greene, Louisa and Nelson).

This information is used to:

  • Guide the activities of the DSB
  • Inform local officials of needs within their jurisdictions
  • Advise state agencies

If you feel you have a physical and/or sensory disability, please take the time to fill out the following questions. If you only have another type of disability such as an intellectual disability, mental health or substance abuse issues, the agency that covers those services is Region 10 at (434) 972-1800. If you feel that you have both physical/sensory and another type of disability, we welcome your input. You may also fill out the survey for a friend or family member. This survey is also available as a downloadable pdf file (143 KB)
