15. GAP Analysis Study The State of Colorado is supporting a cross-systems analysis of crisis intervention services. This analysis will look at the capacity to serve all individuals with dual diagnoses of an Intellectual or Developmental Disability and a Mental Health or Behavioral Disorder. This population includes individuals with Autism, Asperger’s Syndrome or PDD-NOS who have co-occurring Mental Health or Behavioral Disorders. We are also interested in individuals with Developmental Disabilities who, for psychiatric or behavioral reasons, have used Emergency Medical Services or been hospitalized. We want to hear the perspectives of people in these situations even if they do not technically have a Mental Health or Behavioral Disorder. We invite you to take our survey online at https://redcap.ucdenver.edu/surveys/?s=9UMnVv. The results of this survey will be reported as a summary and no one will know which responses are yours. Please feel free to pass the survey link onto anyone you think might be interested in responding. Our hope is that, with your help, we will be able to provide recommendations on how to better meet the needs of this population. We will post the results of the survey on the Colorado CANDO and JFK Partners websites. We appreciate you sharing your experiences. Please know that every voice is heard. Thank you for your participation!
