Organizational Self-Assessment Tools
TASP offers self-assessment tools to help agencies, programs, and health organizations evaluate and strengthen their support for parents with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
People with intellectual disabilities aspire to relationships and full lives, which may include the important role of becoming parents. To help agencies assess their current work and plan for the future, TASP has developed organizational self-assessment tools (OSAs) for both general service providers and healthcare organizations.
Each OSA tool is designed to move you from reflection to action. Here is how it works:
Complete the Assessment
Rate your organization on each item using a simple scale. Complete it on paper or directly through the online tool. We recommend completing it with a small team that has in-depth knowledge of your organizational policies and practices.
Get Your Scores
Each section generates its own score, plus an overall score for your organization. The online version calculates everything automatically and produces a printable summary of your answers, scores, and recommended activities. Paper versions include instructions for calculating your own scores.
Take Action
Based on your scores, each tool suggests specific activities and next steps tailored to where your organization is. The goal is not a perfect score but a realistic picture of where you are and a practical path forward.
Agencies and organizations use OSA results to inform strategic and long-term planning, identify staff training needs, strengthen policies and service models, support grant applications and funding proposals, guide quality improvement efforts, and build more equitable and inclusive services for parents with IDD. The tool is self-guided, non-punitive, and designed for real-world use.
We now offer two types of tools: a general Organizational Self-Assessment for any agency serving parents with IDD, and a new Healthcare-Focused OSA available in Foundational and Comprehensive versions for healthcare organizations. Use the guide below to find the right fit.
While these tools were developed with parents with IDD specifically in mind, they are useful for any organization looking to evaluate and improve its practices around serving individuals with IDD more broadly, including those who are not parents.
Which OSA Is Right for You?
We offer two types of self-assessment tools. Choose based on your organization type and focus area.
Healthcare Organizational Self-Assessment
Designed specifically for healthcare organizations. Available in two versions — Foundational and Comprehensive — to match your organization's size and stage of disability inclusion.
- Clinics, practices, hospitals, and health systems
- Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) and multidisciplinary care teams
- Healthcare organizations at any stage of disability inclusion
- Organizations focused on provider-level practice change
General Organizational Self-Assessment
A broad, system-level tool for any agency or program that serves or could serve parents with IDD. Covers nine service areas from outreach and policy to quality and human rights.
- Disability service agencies and DD Councils
- Child welfare and early intervention programs
- UCEDDs, P&A Projects, and self-advocacy organizations

Developed by TASP with support from the WITH Foundation.
Foundational Healthcare OSA
A practical starting point for smaller or earlier-stage healthcare organizations.
- A small provider practice, clinic, or early-stage organization
- Just beginning your disability inclusion journey
- Working with limited infrastructure for policy or quality-improvement systems
- Looking for a shorter, accessible tool for frontline provider teams
Comprehensive Healthcare OSA
An in-depth tool for larger healthcare organizations with established practices.
- A hospital, health system, FQHC, or larger provider organization
- Already have foundational disability inclusion practices in place
- Ready to assess advanced systems, policy, advocacy, and infrastructure
- Evaluating organization-wide disability inclusion strategy and long-term planning
- Have leadership, compliance, or quality-improvement staff available
Not Sure Which Version to Use?
Organizations may choose to begin with the Foundational OSA and later progress to the Comprehensive OSA as their disability inclusion efforts mature. TASP can also help your organization determine which assessment is the best fit and provide consultation on implementation and next steps. Email us to talk it through.
General Organizational Self-Assessment
The TASP-OSA is a self-assessment tool that any agency, program, or state department can use to examine support for parents with IDD at the local, regional, or state level. It is intended to help with long-term planning and includes guiding questions across nine service areas.
What the General OSA Covers
The TASP-OSA provides guiding questions across nine service areas including outreach, policy, staff training, service models, leadership, human and legal rights, and quality. It is designed to help you identify strengths, gaps, and next steps at the local, regional, or state level.
Scores are generated for each section and overall, and the tool provides suggested activities based on where your organization lands. It can be completed on paper and self-scored, or brought into an online tool for automatic scoring and a printable results summary.

Why Use an Organizational Self-Assessment?
Time and time again, individuals with IDD tell us they want to be parents, yet they do not consistently receive the support they need to fulfill that life goal. Being a parent is part of basic life needs, and we know that with the right supports, parents with IDD can be great parents.
Individuals with IDD deserve our time and attention to help them lead their lives to the fullest. Yet often, agencies don't know what they don't know. These self-assessment tools will help you and your staff look at what you do, what you could do, and what next steps will ensure everyone has a chance to parent.
The Gap Is Real: What Training Participants Tell Us
When we train professionals across the country, they consistently report significant gaps in services and supports for parents with IDD in their communities.
say there are effective supports for parents with IDD in their area
say there is funding designated or available to provide needed supports and services to parents with IDD in their area
identify long waiting lists to provide services to parents with IDD in their area
feel staff at their agency or in their area are trained in working with parents with IDD
TASP Can Help You Move Forward
Completing a self-assessment is a powerful first step. TASP is here to help you make the most of what you learn.
Schedule a Consultation
Whether you want to talk through the tool before you begin or debrief your results afterward, TASP staff are available to consult with your team. We can help you interpret your scores, prioritize next steps, and think through what meaningful change looks like for your organization.
Use Our Resources
The TASP website includes tools, guides, and resources to help organizations strengthen their practices around supporting parents with IDD. Many of these resources align directly with the areas covered in the OSA and can support your improvement efforts.
Training and Ongoing Support
TASP offers professional training for organizations ready to build capacity and shift practice. Whether you need a one-time training or ongoing consultation as you implement changes, we can support your team at whatever stage you are in.
