Synopsis
The first revolution in care for people with disabilities created community services and was to be decisive in improving the situation of people with developmental disabilities. However, community based services are falling victim to serious and perhaps intractable problems. Task forces meet. Remedial actions are proposed. Yet underlying these actions lies a sense that the breakdown is proceeding so rapidly that our efforts may be in vain.
In this book, Mr. Schwartz points out the promise and potential of a new conception emerging in community based living. This approach seeks to embed these persons with disabilities in a web of personal relationships to the other people in their community and ways are found to involve them intrinsically in its flow. He illustrates how this conception can work through a series of exciting experiments in social policy in Pennsylvania.
