Assuring the Quality of Services to Persons With Developmental Disabilities in Colorado:  System De

"The size of the community residential network in Colorado has tripled over the last five years. In 1976-77 an estimated 400 adult clients with developmental disabilities were residing in community living arrangements. By 1981-82 the number had grown to nearly 1,200 adults and this does not include residents in the thirty-five 8-bed satellite program facilities constructed over the last few years. Under Colorado's Title XIX community waiver the number of residential programs, day programs, and case management services should grow even faster. Colorado Officials are justifiably proud of their ability to develop a continuum of programs for persons with developmental disabilities (DD) in Colorado in such rapid fashion."
