October 2025

Independent Monitoring for Quality (IM4Q) has released its October update, highlighting current activities and opportunities for involvement.

The update includes information on the 2025–2026 cycle, including sample distribution, upcoming survey materials, training reminders, and data system updates. It also provides updates on the external evaluation, Enterprise Case Management reports, and resources available on MyODP. Local programs are encouraged to review and provide feedback on reports, share lessons learned from the QA&I cycle, and ensure required trainings are completed.

In addition, the IM4Q Statewide Steering Committee is seeking new self-advocate and family member participants. The committee brings together individuals with disabilities, families, and system partners to share input and help guide statewide IM4Q efforts. Members meet quarterly (mostly online), are compensated for participation, and play a key role in shaping IM4Q surveys, reviewing reports, and ensuring that stakeholder voices are represented.
