Texas Mental Health Survey
We are helping Texas improve mental health services for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We know people need better mental health care. You can help!
To start, we need Self-Advocates, family members, friends, and professionals to tell us about mental health needs.
If you are not a self-advocate, please take the survey as if you are.

Self-Advocates and Autistics, we need you! PEOPLE FIRST LANGUAGE – Autistics is not people first language.
Families, friends, and professionals, we need you! – As a professional, when I tried to take the survey, as soon as I clicked NO I do not have a disability, it kicked me out of the survey. How can families, friends, and professionals be needed if this happens?
Thanks for your feedback! While not part of official People First language, the term “autistics” was selected by people with autism who developed our survey. As language evolves, we look to people with disabilities to define their identities and their preferences for labels. We understand that not all people with autism may prefer this particular term, but again, defer to the self-advocates we work with to make this decision. So you’ll see official People First language in most of our work unless a self-advocate has selected the term to be used.
