Inclusion for All - The Fight for Institutional Closure



Community Options’ Family Web offers parents tangible resources on the topics of education, inclusion, and advocacy. These materials were gathered by Community Options staff and family committee chairpersons, and were reviewed and rated during family group meetings. Our goal is for parents to find these “Consumer Reports” helpful in determining the most appropriate resources for their particular situation.

Our Consumer Reports were created with the help of Family Web’s family groups. Our groups were established at 12 locations in 9 states across the nation. Each group has the support of a Community Options representative and a Family Committee Chairperson, who is the parent or guardian of an individual with a disability. Groups meet monthly to evaluate and discuss free resources that are available on the Internet. In an attempt to adequately focus on specific issues, Family Web groups focused on three topics: Advocacy, Education, and Inclusion/Community Living.
