- Summary:
-
Examined in the discussion paper are advocacy issues raised by Section 113 of The Developmentally Disabled Assistance and Bill of Rights Act (Public Law 94-103). Considered in Part I are the benefits of, and need for advocacy, and raised are definitional aspects of that term. Part II summarizes the relevant legislative history of Section 113 of P.L. 94-103. Described in Part III are existing advocacy agencies in selected states. Part IV reviews significant attributes of the intended system and some of the policy considerations in designating an implementing agency. Provided are 15 recommendations such as insuring that the system's core agency is independent of public or private providers of services. It is concluded that there are already a number of promising advocacy systems yielding direct and tangible benefits to the developmentally disabled. (DB)
