【 摘 要 】

The national trend of shifting from institutionally based services for persons with developmental disabilities towards community based services was studied with emphasis on the period from 1977 to 1986. Michigan’s efforts are described in detail and comparatively examined versus the average state program. Michigan demonstrated extensive deviation in the areas of institutional funding, institutional population census, and community funding. During this same period of time there were dramatic fluctuations in the Michigan’s economic climate. This paper explores those factors which have substantially contributed to the untypical expenditures and community placement efforts demonstrated in Michigan.
