Are YOU satisfied with the services YOU are receiving or have received from OVR? Were they better than you expected? OK, or not as good as you expected? Here is your chance to let OVR know how YOU feel about their services.
The OVR Customer Satisfaction Survey conducted by the PaRC, an independent citizen group authorized by the Federal Government, is available now for you to take at the PaRC website, www.parac.org.
A comment made on last year’s survey, by a person like YOU, helped OVR see a need for more training on autism disorders. So, find a computer here, at your home, a neighbor’s place, or the library, etc., and take the survey. You’ll be glad you were able to help OVR help other people, like YOU. Thanks Much!
