Deinstitutionalization: Unfinished Business. Companion Report to Unfinished Business Toolkit.

摘要

The unfinished business of closing state-run institutions and other public and private institutional settings that have traditionally served people with intellectual disabilities and developmental disabilities (ID/DD) is an important first step and should be a top public policy priority in every state where such institutions exist. Equally important is ensuring that these people have access to services and supports in their communities that will enable them to lead rich and meaningful lives.
