Product Description:

In 2004 and 2005 the Real Choice Systems Change Project facilitated a series of eight regional forums and one statewide conference on community inclusion. The events brought together persons with disabilities, families of persons with disabilities, and those in the public and private sectors interested in making Connecticut's communities more inclusive of all our citizens. The forums and conference covered everything from personal experiences to public policy. The sessions were stimulating, energizing, and sometimes aggravating. There were tears shed, but also much laughter. Over 250 people attended these events. This publication presents the most meaningful and poignant stories and opinions, which shaped policy recommendations and action steps to enhance community inclusion.
