PUBLICATIONS AND RESOURCES

The Center on Human Policy has become a major influence in fostering positive attitudes toward people with disabilities, and continues as a strong voice for the full inclusion of people with disabilities in the community.

With the distribution of publications and posters, the Center has a goal to improve society's literacy about disabilities by demonstrating that the greatest obstacles faced by people with disabilities are societally imposed.

Through the National Resource Center on Supported Living and Choice and other funded projects, the Center distributes bulletins, research reports, articles, information packages, and other materials on a broad range of topics related to integration or inclusion for people with disabilities (our "Community Inclusion Report Series"), and specifically information concerning those who have been labelled mentally retarded and developmentally disabled. These materials and resources have been prepared by Center staff and associates, including Responsive Systems Associates (John O'Brien and Connie Lyle O'Brien).

Through the Human Policy Press, the Center distributes posters, books, t-shirts, buttons, and other novelty items that promote positive attitudes towards people with disabilities.
