Quality Mall

Quality Mall is a place to find lots of free information about person-centered supports for people with developmental disabilities. Each of the "Mall stores" offers information products that help people with developmental disabilities live, work and participate in our communities and improve the quality of their supports. Quality Mall was developed by the Research and Training Center on Community Living at the University of Minnesota's Institute on Community Integration (RTC/ICI), the National Association of State Directors of Developmental Disabilities Services (NASDDDS), and Human Services Research Institute (HSRI). It receives its primary funding is through a grant from the federal Administration on Developmental Disabilities.

COMMUNITY FOR ALL TOOLKIT

This tool kit was developed at the request of volunteers, advocates, self-advocates, and professionals concerned that the remarkable progress made towards the inclusion of people with cognitive, intellectual and developmental disabilities (our constituents) into the fabric and mainstream of community life in America was at risk.
In some places in the United States there are those who would not only continue to deny people currently in public and private institutions freedom and opportunity through continued institutionalization but who also want to expand the role of institutions in the lives of our constituents. 

The organizations contributing to this tool kit find that unacceptable, given all we know about how to effectively support all people, regardless of their disability, in the community. To fight the disinformation so common among those who favor continued segregation, this tool kit provides the philosophy, policy and research rationale that supports community supports and services for all people with disabilities, in the context of their families, their communities and their country.

You are free to copy or modify any of the information in this tool kit for your use. If it is photocopied or reproduced from a journal or magazine, you need to get permission to copy it from the journal or magazine publisher.
