Developmental Services Quality Council
The Developmental Services Quality Council was established to provide leadership for consistent, systemic review and improvement of the quality of the developmental disability and acquired brain disorder services provided within New Hampshire's developmental services system.
Senate Bill 138, which was passed during the 2007 legislative session, established a committee to review and make recommendations regarding the quality assurance and improvement elements and activities within New Hampshire’s community-based developmental services system.
The Committee’s broad-based membership produced the Senate Bill 138 Report report in November 2008 to assist the Bureau of Developmental Services (BDS), area agencies and their subcontract agencies to address a variety of issues related to quality.
