The Center on Human Policy, at Syracuse University, is conducting a study of organizational transformation within services for individuals labeled with intellectual or developmental disabilities. This study is being conducted as part of a subcontract with the Research and Training Center on Community Living and Employment at the University of Minnesota. We are seeking nominations of organizations that have undertaken substantial organizational change to move from traditional facility-based supports to integrated, individualized community supports (e.g., supports based on the needs and interests of a particular person, versus a large or small group of people; and supports that promote control, choice, and inclusion).
In particular, we are seeking nominations of:

• local, regional, or state level organizations that have or are in the process of undertaking significant transformation away from facility-based services
• various types of organizations, such as those that support adults to live in the community; those that support children and their families in the community; those that support adults to work in the community 
• organizations that have included workforce initiatives as a key aspect of organizational transformation 
• organizations that have engaged a variety of stakeholders, including individuals with significant impairments, as part of the transformation process.

Please send nominations to Pam Walker, at the Center on Human Policy, pmwalker@syr.edu or call 315-443-4290.
