Rehabilitation Research and Training Center on Policies Affecting Families of Children with Disabilities


This is a current project.


Description

The overall goal of this project is to investigate the effects of policies of governments, systems, networks and agencies on family quality of life and the integration of families who have children with developmental and emotional-behavioral disabilities into their communities. The project is approaching research and training by focusing on  two policy topics: family outcomes in early childhood services and consumer control of funding. Target populations include families, providers, policy leaders, and networks at federal, state and local levels. Seven research projects and four training projects are included.
