Abstract
Strengthening service systems for people with long-term disabilities (e.g., developmental disabilities, head
injuries, mental health) is of growing interest by local and state governments. There is recognition that current systems of
care face of number of challenges in meeting the changing needs of people with long-term disabilities and their families.
The Center for Community Support and Research (CCSR) is in the second year of collaborating with the Kansas
Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services (SRS) on a 5-year Real Choice Systems Transformation Initiative. The
purposes of the initiative are to (1) improve choice and control for people with long-term disabilities, (2) utilize informationtechnology
more effectively, and (3) improve the financing of services. The initiative requires a high level of collaboration
and coordination between multiple service providers, the state government, people served, and their families. The CCSR
serves as an evaluator for the initiative, documenting the extent to which three statewide task teams and a statewide steering
committee have made progress in achieving each of the stated purposes.
