Community Integration
Progress has been made around the country to ensure that individuals with disabilities who want to live, work and play in the community can do so. But there are many who still think that large institutional settings are the “safest” place for people with disabilities. We believe that segregating people with disabilities, in order for them to receive services, is wrong and dangerous.
The report Keeping the Promise: True Community Integration and the Need for Monitoring and Advocacy summarizes two projects that monitored people with disabilities, many of whom were moving out of large institutions into homes in the community.
