Abstract
Under this grant, the State will build on work begun under
the 2001 Real Choice grant by completing a research-validated plan for
community integration in
Consumers will also be involved in the project
implementation. The Community Integration Committee, which will oversee the
project, is made up of people with disabilities, family members, and
representatives of private organizations and public agencies.
Community-to-Community Coalitions will be established in the research sites to
involve a broad base of community members.
This project will produce sustained change by identifying
implementation strategies for cost-effective, community-based care. Activities
conducted under this grant will demonstrate the feasibility of providing such
services in a cost-neutral manner to the maximum number of individuals with
disabilities in the most integrated settings based on their wants and needs.
Products will include a research-based community integration plan,
evidence-based protocols for anti-stigma campaigns, community development
projects, and community integration planning.
