Users can select what type of analysis they want to conduct using two main tools: The "Build a Chart" module allows users to examine descriptive information on state characteristics, services, or outcomes using the data sets offered on the site. Users may build a chart summarizing one or more states. They may also select a national total to benchmark their state or other states against the overall nationwide trend. Most data elements are available at the national level. State Snapshots provide summaries of state-level and national data that display pertinent information from the National Survey of State IDD Agencies and National Core Indicators in a digestible format. The site includes data from state intellectual and developmental disability agencies, and vocational rehabilitation outcomes and services from the Rehabilitation Services Administration.
