Journal Article
Community-Centered Strategies for Supporting Persons with Disabilities
2006
Overview
Supports for individuals with disabilities, although increasingly community-based, operate within a formal human service system outside of community decision-making structures. Research suggests that this current system has had limited effectiveness in advancing the social inclusion of individuals with disabilities. This article draws from current work in the fields of community development and planning to outline a new approach that actively engages communities in planning supports and ensures full participation for citizens with disabilities. This model, field-tested in a small rural community in Northern New Hampshire, resulted in increased municipal-level activities targeted at accessibility, employment, housing, transportation, recreation, and community supports. Additional replication activities are needed to evaluate the transferability of the model to other rural, suburban, and urban communities.
