How Federal Developmental Disabilities

Programs Are Working




The Developmentally Disabled Assistance and
Bill of Rights Act of 1975 supports four pro-
grams intended to directly or indirectly bene-
fit the developmentally disabled --persons
whose handicap is attributable to mental
retardation, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, autism,
or severe dyslexia and whose disability origi-
nated before age 18, is expected to continue
indefinitely, and is so seere as to prevent
such persons from  functioning normally
in society.

All four programs have problems which must
be addressed by either the Congress or HEW.
Some of the problems such as, the need for
performance standards, regulations, and guide-
lines are applicable to individual programs.
While others such as, the lack of monitoring
and specific direction were found to exist in
all four programs.
