The State of the States in Developmental Disabilities/With 2000 Study Summary

For 20 years, The State of the States in Developmental Disabilities has been the consummate source book on MR/DD services-- nationwide and state-by-state. The only book of its kind, The State of the States profiles each state with a comprehensive look at all aspects of mental retardation and developmental disabilities services--from 1997 to 1996.

Last published in 1995, The State of the States has been significantly revised, expanded, and updated in a new, 500-page hard cover Fifth Edition. New chapters in this edition address: 1) historical foundations; 2) contemporary issues in the field; 3) creative innovations in community services in New England; and 4) developments in managed care for people with disabilities across the U.S.

David Braddock, Ph.D., who heads The States of the States project and is its chief author, has written more than 150 publications, and received the Distinguished Research Award from the The Arc/US.
