The future of children is now.
A community resource network, Annie Sullivan Enterprises, Inc., is described as a system for community integration of children and youth who have developmental disabilities and mental health problems. A brokerage model is espoused for accessing and delivering services. The model is based on Hobb's (1975) view that organization of human services must be based primarily on the client's needs rather than on the needs of the service agency. Lessons and recommendations based upon 7 years of successful operation are described.
