Abstract

This past century has witnessed a major shift in the delivery of support services for people with developmental disabilities. In the first half of the most recent century, American society concerned itself with the proliferation of institutions for persons with developmental disabilities. Often in remote settings, a principle concern was to relocate individuals who were characterized as a “menace” to society (Brockley, 1999; Scheerenberger, 1983). Throughout the latter half of the century, many of the negative assumptions about people with developmental disabilities were challenged and human service ideology shifted toward normalization, least restriction, and the development of policies favoring community-based living arrangements (Brockley, 1999; Landesman & Butterfield, 1987).
