In-Home and Residential Long-Term Supports and Services for Persons with Intellectual or Developmental Disabilities: Status and Trends Through 2014

Note on language: In earlier RISP products, we used the word "retardation" to refer to IDD. Historically, this was common language in the profession and broader society. Because of its broad and common use, outdated language may also appear in other RISP products. The "R-word," as we understand it now, is an ableist slur. Our previous language does not reflect the RISP team's ongoing commitment to social inclusion of people with IDD.
