This report offers an executive summary and further |
|
analysis of a 1990 report that presented a comprehensive |
|
picture of service delivery for persons with |
|
developmental disabilities in Mississippi. The 1990 |
|
report, which was mandated by the Developmental |
|
Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act Amendments |
|
of 1987, analyzed federally assisted and state agency |
|
programs and consumer satisfaction and offered |
|
recommendations. This executive summary traces the |
|
history of Mississippi special education services, |
|
integration of students with disabilities, and results of |
|
interviews with 300 individuals with disabilities. These |
|
individuals represented 17 locations, 14 centers, 11 |
|
cities, and 9 counties from the State of Mississippi. |
|
Tables accompany text that discusses: Mississippi |
|
expenditures on education, health, and social services; |
|
special education growth from 1962 to 1992; growth in |
|
special education by specific disability groups; racial |
|
composition of special education enrollment; educational |
|
environments by disability; comparisons of percentages of |
|
students in different educational environments among |
|
different states; similar comparisons by specific |
|
disability groups; consumer satisfaction with residential |
|
and vocational services; participation in community and |
|
leisure activities; services needed; and employment and |
|
income. Recommendations focus on supports to individuals |
|
and families, employment and income, aging, education, |
|
housing, and prevention. (Contains 28 references.) (JDD) |
