This On Good Authority summarizes some of the results of a survey evaluating the implementation of the Juvenile Justice Reform Provisions throughout the state, focusing particularly on survey respondents knowledge and awareness of the reform provisions and balanced and restorative justice.
The contents of this resource guide were developed and funded under a grant from the Illinois Council on Developmental Disabilities and The Rehabilitation Research and Training Center on Aging with Developmental Disabilities (RRTCADD), through the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR), Grant #H133B980046. In 1999 the RRTCADD at the University of Illinois at Chicago and the CARC began a collaboration to support families and individuals with developmental disabilities in future planning. Our interests primarily focused on aging families. Our project began with a series of workshops that provided information on legal/financial planning and accessing services in Illinois. Although we developed the guide working mainly with aging caregivers and individuals with disabilities in the metro Chicago area, resources to use throughout the state are included.
