State of the States in Developmental Disabilities PDF
When the economy is tough, and your cause is just, where can you go to get the hard core facts?
"The State of the States in Developmental Disabilities" is one of the indispensible reference texts of the intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) field. Dr. David L. Braddock, and his colleagues Richard E. Hemp and Mary C. Rizzolo, present over thirty years of I/DD trends in spending, revenue, residential services, individual and family support, and more.
Today, as lawmakers at every level of government wrestle with fiscal imperatives, the I/DD field is changing fast. Governing agencies that provide oversight, underwrite, fund and regulate are transforming their systems at every level to maximize efficiencies and reduce risk. The larger voluntary providers are trying to maximize every opportunity; smaller voluntary providers are just trying to hang on, utilize their limited resources well, and understand it all. Individuals with developmental disabilities and their families are straining to be heard, to receive the supports and services they need -- and by right deserve.
What do the trends tell us? Where are we headed? Are we prepared? Are we doing enough? Whom are we serving? How are we serving them? Which supports and services are the most cost efficient? What is likely to be supported when some taxpayers inevitably complain they're paying too much - and what is likely to be cut?
America has not always held the self-evident truth that those with intellectual and developmental disabilities are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights. Nor has it fulfilled the promise of "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" to those in its population who have intellectual and developmental disabilities.
