-
This report reviews the development of independent service coordination for people with disabilities in Illinois and offers recommendations in support of free-standing and independent service coordination in the state. First the report defines independent service coordination, then it reviews the policy of the Illinois Planning Council on Developmental Disabilities in support of case management and coordination across agencies since 1989, with emphasis on relevant legislative and executive policy actions. The benefits of independent service coordination are identified, including assuring choices and independence for people and providing a single place to which people can go to receive assistance from the human service system. The current system of independent service coordination agencies is seen to be primarily the result of the Bogard Consent Decree of 1993 which called for comprehensive service coordination reorganization. Recommendations are offered, including: (1) adoption of a state policy supporting free-standing and independent service coordination for everyone seeking assistance from the human service system; (2) utilization of the existing network of independent service coordination agencies as the infrastructure for the system; and (3) designation of an independent state-level entity not involved in service delivery to oversee provision of service coordination in Illinois. An appendix contains an excerpt from a 1988 case coordination project's final report. (DB)
