Abstract | This case study describes Project RESCUE (Refer, Evaluate, Support, Coordinate, Uncover, and Educate), an agency providing support to children and adults with developmental disabilities in Fulton and DeKalb counties in and around Atlanta, Georgia. Project RESCUE's mission is to assist people in four areas: (1) to identify and obtain community resources; (2) to become as self-sufficient as possible; (3) to minimize exploitation; and (4) to experience meaningful community participation. Services provided include in-home assistance; service coordination; assistance in obtaining housing, clothing, food, and furniture; transportation; support in job or recreation settings; counseling; and support groups. The case study describes administration and funding; staff roles and staff training; ongoing support and assistance; and agency issues and challenges, including values issues, issues of race and oppression, poverty issues, women's issues, and service system issues. Anecdotal reports are included about some of the individuals and families that Project RESCUE has assisted. (JDD) |
