Product Description:

This report is a two-year follow-up study of the residents who once lived at River's Crossing (a short-term diagnostic program for young people with sever disabilities that had become a 24hr/7 day-a-week institution in 1980.) When River's Crossing closed its doors in 1996, IHDD began an effort to document how the lives of the children and young adults who had lived in that institution changed as they re-entered their communities. The stories are uplifting and also show us how much we have yet to learn. (This report follows the one-year follow-up report entitled: Building New Lives in the Community.)
