 Issue Brief: Successful Transitions for People
With Developmental Disabilities
At the request of the North Carolina general
assembly, the North Carolina Institute of Medicine convened a task force
to suggest ways to improve services, programs, coordination and
accessibility to help students with developmental and intellectual
disabilities better transition into post-secondary education and the
community. Older adults with I/DD and I/DD individuals living with an
aging caregiver are also addressed. By increasing state, local, and
community development, strengthening disability expertise, and ensuring
case managers and direct support workers' competencies, an independent
lifestyle can be attained for North Carolina's disabled population.
