Federal Perspectives
Federal Perspectives (formerly Perspectives) provides a concise summary of national policy developments and initiatives affecting persons with intellectual/developmental disabilities and the programs that serve them. From bills pending before Congress on health care reform, to changes in federal-state Medicaid policies and the shift of government responsibility from Washington to the states, Federal Perspectives keeps readers in tune with the latest national issues shaping publicly funded disability services. As its name denotes, Federal Perspectives takes a step back to examine the implications of federal developments on the delivery of services to persons with intellectual/developmental disabilities.
