Project Description:
The State of the States in Developmental Disabilities Project is administered by the University of Colorado, and funded in part by the Administration on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities. Established in 1982 to investigate the determinants of public spending for intellectual/developmental disabilities (I/DD) services in the United States, the project maintains a 35-year longitudinal record of revenue, spending, and programmatic trends in the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the United States as a whole. Analysis of the rich detail of the data base reveals the impact over time of federal and state fiscal policy, and illustrates important service delivery trends in the states in community living, public and private residential institutions, family support, supported employment, supported living, Medicaid Waivers, demographics, and related areas.
Target Audience:
Students/Trainees (long or intermediate trainees), Professionals and Para-Professionals, Family Members/Caregivers, Adults with Disabilities, Legislators/Policy Makers, General Public
