Product Description:

This paper reviews several historical and emerging aspects of community access for individuals with intellectual disability, autism and traumatic brain injury in the domains of community transportation/navigation and access to community based information. The somewhat limited research base in these areas is explored, including a case study review and results from several promising feasibility studies. The paper concludes with comments concerning future prospects and recommendations for improving independent community access for persons with significant cognitive disabilities.
