From the Paper:

"The future outlook in the area of developmental disabilities initiatives appear to be focused toward enabling and empowering the individual as well as their family to lead as normal a life possible in spite of the developmental problems that disable the individual. Integration of the developmentally disabled into all aspects of society is one of the goals of the agencies that fund and provide services and resources for those who are developmentally disabled. There are agencies involved both at the state and federal levels with governing policies and procedures in place to keep a check on the quality of the services provided. Focus is also toward the improvement of health of the developmentally disabled through the provision of information and resources to that end and as well improvement of all aspects of the quality of living in the lives of the developmentally disabled in terms of education, transportation, civil rights and all the other aspects mentioned within this work to make the years to come for the developmentally disabled less difficult and challenging in a more positive nature than has been witnessed in the past."
