摘要

This report is intended to provide developmental disabilities councils and others with information that will assist them in promoting and coordinating alternative community living arrangements and nonvocational services to developmentally disabled people. Its focus is on those issues likely to confront the field of developmental disabilities in the 1980's. The identification of important issues was accomplished through a literature review, a survey of developmental disabilities councils, and a conference of experts. Some of the issues identified for discussion include (1) the effect of decentralization of services on current quality assurance mechanisms, (2) the ways in which consumers of services can be more equal participants in the service process, and (3) the appropriate balance between generic and specialized services. Some of the key findings of the report indicate that demand has exceeded the supply of community services; that resources available to community programs are inadequate; and that resources are often unavailable for most cost - effective residential and nonvocational social development services, while more restrictive arrangements receive the bulk of the funding. Not only are certain types of services limited in their ability but certain types of clients, particularly the mentally retarded and those with behavior problems, tend to be underserved. Further, existing models of community care, particularly residential care, are not necessarily designed to meet the individual needs of each resident. Nonvocational social development services have tended to be underemphasized by community service planning and, as a result, existing systems typically consist of residential services, vocational services, and case management. Programs must be flexible if they are to meet specific client needs; emphasis should be placed on ensuring continuity and coordination of care for clients. Chapter references and footnotes are included, and an appendix presents a list of reference materials for developmental disabilities planners. (Author abstract modified).
