Ten years after the results of the Cash and Counseling
Demonstration and Evaluation were released, this book assesses the
impact of this study, which developed individualized plans for
helping people with disabilities to stay independent in the
community. The study was the first wide-scale test of people with
disabilities managing their own budgets and results from the
random-controlled trial demonstrated significant positive outcomes,
encouraging the US federal and state governments to provide this
option as part of their community-based care programs. This volume
looks at what people with disabilities and their caregivers are
saying about this option ten years removed from the study, and what
the latest research shows in terms of what it will take to improve
this approach, making the option available for all people with
disabilities. The contributions also discuss what needs remain
unmet even when people can manage their own budgets, and present
participants' and their family caregivers' views on what support
broker activities really help (or hurt). Finally, the book
summarizes the results of a project involving the Council of Social
Work Education and nine schools of social work to develop modules
to train future social workers on person-centred planning and
participant direction. Of interest to those researchers studying
social care with a focus on disabilities, this book would also be
of use to those training social workers and support staff. The
chapters in this book were originally published in the Journal of
Gerontological Social Work and Home Health Care Services Quarterly.
