Product Description:
For decades public institutions and other segregated settings have served as placements of last resort for persons whose behavior, emotions or crisis circumstances presented challenges beyond the capacity or commitment of community service agencies. One of the last frontiers in the movement to assure a life in the community for all people with intellectual and developmental disabilities is the development of behavior support and crisis prevention and response programs in the community. These programs provide people experiencing behavioral, emotional or other crises - and the families and organizations that care about them - with immediate and ongoing support and treatment that allow them to remain in the community. These programs share a commitment to positive behavior supports, multidisciplinary services, and the philosophy that personal crisis is an unacceptable excuse for institutionalizing people. It's that commitment which is described in this issue of Impact.
