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.
