Project Options
Project Options was developed in response to the findings that significant numbers of Thomas S class members (persons with mental retardation and mental illness) report minimal or no involvement in work or day programs, and that many persons with severe disabilities have significant difficulty achieving an inclusive role in their communities. The project compiled indicators of exemplary day and socialization service options with a recreation and education focus, identified service and support models, and disseminated best practice guidelines to a variety of audiences. The project is now providing technical assistance to selected area programs to increase opportunities for day and socialization options.
