Abstract | The site visit report describes community living programs for persons with severe disabilities in the Wisconsin counties of Dane, LaCrosse, and Columbia. The visit attempted to identify and document promising practices through interviews with administrators, officials and staff; observations of three foster homes, two small group homes, and two supportive apartments; visits to two school programs; and a review of various state, county, and agency documents, plans, and evaluations. Promising practices are identified in the areas of county leadership (officials are committed to community integration); family support (Wisconsin has one of the most innovative family support programs in the country); and innovative community living arrangements including group home situations for only three or four individuals and individualized arrangements. The Community Integration Program provides innovative services for people coming out of institutions. (DB) |
