New Issue of Possibilities in Education and Training Available
The latest issue of Possibilities in Education and Training newsletter is now available. The feature article is about Glenwood Resource Center (GRC), an Iowa facility for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, that closed in 2024 after nearly 160 years, following U.S. Department of Justice investigations into inadequate care. Its closure reflects a shift from institutional care to community-based support, aided by programs like Money Follows the Person (MFP), promoting independence and dignity for individuals with disabilities.
Included in the issue are updates of three individuals who successfully transitioned from Glenwood to community living, along with some significant milestones and "firsts" for others who have transitioned into the community in 2024. Additionally, the Disability Resource Library highlights eight books celebrating and supporting people with disabilities and their caregivers, fostering awareness and inclusion.
