The Olmstead Quality of Life Survey tracks and evaluates the quality of life for people with disabilities who receive services in potentially segregated settings. The first survey was conducted in 2017.
A segregated setting is a residence, school, or workplace meant to include only or primarily people with disabilities. This means people might not have control over where they live, who they live with, access to family and friends, and access to jobs or school.
The purpose of the survey is to ask Minnesotans with disabilities: "What affects your quality of life?"
In 2024, the Olmstead Implementation Office contracted with The Improve Group to do another survey. The survey process began in March and finished in October 2024. The survey report includes findings compared to past years and demographic information.
