 Maryland Disability Transition Workgroup Recommendations to Maryland
Commission on Disabilities
The Transition Work Group was charged with examining public policy in the
area of disabilities to make recommendations to the Governor and his
administration on disabilities policy. The Transition Work Group has 42
members, each of whom has actively participated in the preparation of
this report. The members of the Work Group include persons with
disabilities or family members, leaders of advocacy organizations,
professionals in the field, and other activists.
The Work Group was split into four subcommittees dealing with particular
areas of concern:
-
Community supports
-
Olmstead compliance/institutions
-
Education including early childhood, special
education and vocational rehabilitation
-
Department of Disabilities/Office of Deaf and
Hard of Hearing
Each subcommittee conducted research, including
interviews with state employees, to formulate recommendations. The
recommendations which are in this report represent a consensus of the
work group.
