Abstract

The mandate for the inital planning group meetings was to suggest needed policy recommendations to the DSS on the over-all State M.R care system to insure that planning for qualifying T-19 funds would be within the context and complement the further development of the statewide system. The group was composed of 26 individuals representing the various divisions of the DSS and other participating or potential participating state agencies in programs for the developmentally disabled including representatives from the Glenwood and Woodward State Hospital Schools for the mentally retarded. In addition, representatives from private M.R. service providers, the Iowa Association for Retarded Children, and the Iowa State Association of Counties were invited to participate in the planning session.
