Overview

The AskMe! project puts people first as developers, interviewers, and respondents. Bonham Research works with the Arc of Maryland to study the quality of life of adults with developmental disabilities for the Maryland Developmental Disabilities Administration. About 1,400 adults supported in the community provide information each year to guide state planning, agency service enhancement, and consumer choice.  Bonham Research also consults with the Edmonton (Canada) Community Board of Persons with Developmental Disability.
