Creating Excellence Together Standards

CET Standards 2025

ACDS has released the 2025 edition of the Creating Excellence Together (CET) Standards. The 2025 Standards build upon the more comprehensive revisions made in 2021. Two significant updates in the 2025 edition include:

• Integrated Respite indicators for adults with developmental disabilities: Respite indicators have been integrated into the CET Level 1 Standards and are now part of all PDD-funded site surveys for organizations providing respite supports.
• Clarified language: Indicators have been edited to clearly specify their applicability to Respite services, and to address duplication and ambiguities identified in the 2021 Standards.

Does your organization need to add Respite indicators to your survey? Follow this flowchart.
