- Summary:
-
This Texas plan to improve information and referral services in the area of developmental disabilities recommends an approach which focuses on providing improvements incrementally, spacing benefits over time, and periodically reassessing direction, alternatives, and costs/benefits. The plan stresses building a network which provides greater public awareness of available information and referral services; improved access to statewide and local information about services and eligibility criteria; and better coordination among local, regional, and state information providers. Five specific recommendations are made: (1) establish a partnership of business, government, and voluntary organizations to oversee plan implementation; (2) identify all existing information and referral (I&R) programs and develop, publish, and distribute a directory of these programs; (3) establish local, regional, and statewide networks of I&R programs by facilitating communication and cooperation among them; (4) promote model standards for I&R programs; and (5) develop an automated clearinghouse of information on state-provided health and human services including general eligibility requirements, available services, and application procedures.
