Research
- Evaluation of the Closure of E.R. Johnstone
Research and Training Center: The DD Planning Institute
conducted a follow-up evaluation of individuals with developmental
disabilities who left the E.R. Johnstone Training and Research
Center approximately five years ago at the time of its closure.
This research included the development of questionnaires to
assess the life quality of consumers from their own perspectives
as well as those of their current staff and family members.
- Life After Johnstone Executive Summary
- Evaluation of the Closure of North Princeton
Developmental Center: Currently, the DD Planning Institute
is assessing the impacts of deinstitutionalization on the
competencies and well-being of persons with developmental
disabilities. The Institute will be collecting data about
individuals who are leaving a state-operated institution,
North Princeton Developmental Center, due to its closure.
This information will come from the persons with the developmental
disabilities themselves as well as staff and family members
who know the feelings, desires, and preferences of these individuals.
Quality of life appraisals are being made in the areas of
material and emotional well-being, health, productivity, social
and family intimacy, personal and possession safety, community
integration, and daily living and global autonomy.
