ABOUT THIS BULLETIN

Beginning with this issue, the Center on Human Policy will publish semi-annual Policy Bulletins presenting information based on and summarizing major research finding relevant to federal and state policy on community integration for people with developmental disabilities. These Policy Bulletins will be sent, free of charge, to people involved in policy issues at the national and state levels. They will be available, for a fee that covers the cost of copying and handing, to others who write for copies.
