A state-university collaboration to serve persons with developmental disabilities and mental health needs.
Persons with developmental disabilities and mental health needs present a complex and potentially rewarding challenge to workers in both developmental disabilities (DD) and mental health (MH) fields. These individuals may be shuttled between (DD) and (MH) systems. Effective care requires the person obtain services from both systems. This paper describes one possible mechanism of service delivery for persons with developmental disabilities and mental health needs.
