Rating

What This Rating Means

NOT PERFORMING
Results Not Demonstrated

A rating of Results Not Demonstrated (RND) indicates that a program has not been able to develop acceptable performance goals or collect data to determine whether it is performing.
  • The program has performance measures, but has not collected performance data and used it to evaluate the effectiveness of the program. The program is in the process of collecting performance data that can be used to evaluate the program.
  • The programs lacks credible evidence from rigorous evaluations to measure the impact of their services on individuals with disabilities. Evaluations have indicated that these programs are meeting their legislative requirements, but the evaluations were not designed to measure the impact of the programs effectiveness in delivering services.
