COMMITTEE NO. III A.M.
November.9, 1981
The fifth meeting of this committee was called to order by the Chairman, Representative Cozzens, at 9:00 a.m. on the above date in the auditorium of the SRS building.
ROLL CALL: All members of this committee were present for the meeting.
Chairman Cozzens explained the subject of the hearing today, requesting all present to sign the roster which was being circulated for that purpose in the chambers. Also, Chairman Cozzens announced that the format for today's hearing would be: first, hear Ray Hoffman, Legislative Fiscal Analyst, review the budget analysis and his chart; secondly, John LaFaver, Director of SRS, will give the SRS proposali and thirdly, public testimony will be heard. This is regarding the Developmental Disabilities Division. Questions and answers will be heard about 11:15 a.m.
Ray Hoffman, said that in find out the legislature.
as he referred to page 293 correlating the Table with dollar amount of reduction
(See Exhibit #1.)
on the DD Division, the handout, you will in accordance with the
Chairman Cozzens asked at this time whether there were any questions for the Fiscal Analyst. There being no questions he then called upon John LaFaver.
John Lafaver, Director of SRS, thanked the Chairman and welcomeq the committee and visitors. He said that their top priority is not reducing basic services. In order to do that we have tightened administrative costs and welfare as much as we could. Mr. LaFaver introduced Jack Ellery, Administrator of the DD Division who presented written testimony and charts, copies of which are attached. (See Exhibit #2.)
Chairman Cozzens asked for the Representatives at this time to make their statements.
Representative Bertelson, District #27, said they have a granddaughter with Down's Syndrome who, because of loving care and such wonderful advantages has progressed enough to take part in the Special Olympics. He spoke with pride for the State of Montana regarding these things that are provided by them. He added that a family on their own would not be able to give proper care to these children, without this and would the committee give consideration to all areas in which cuts are being made.
Minutes of Meeting, Committee No. III a.m. November 9, 1981 Page 2
Representative Holiday, District #46, a member of the Developmental Disabilities Council in Billings, said that his son was injured 11 years ago at the age of 15. He agreed with all that Rep. Bertelson said regarding the need for DO in the State of Montana and would be happy to answer any questions.
Representative Rex Manuel, District 11, stated that he is a member of Region II DO Council. In traveling around the state, he has found evidence of how beneficial the group homes are. He congratulated the last session for funding the group homes. He said that the really needy cannot defend themselves and that is why I am here today.
Representative Kennerly, District #14, said that they live on the Blackfeet Reservation and have a daughter who is developmentally disabled and who has been greatly helped by the program. Some of these students up there have turned around 180 degrees since the program has been available. If there is any way the budget can be funded, it will be greatly appreciated.
Representative Gould, District 98, Missoula, said that first of all, Representative Lory and I travelled to Boulder in '75 before deinstitutionalization and, if you were to ask me what was one of the best things we have done in the legislature, I would say the accomplishment of establishing the DO program. I would have one area that should be looked at. In the DO program the average grade classification of employees is 12.5. I am involved with the visual services and vocational rehabilitation programs. In the vocational rehab program, the average grade is an eleven; and, in the developmental disability program, the average is grade 13, which results in higher pay for quite similar jobs. This is a minor item but should be looked at to bring the services more in line.
Representative Toni Bergene, District #36, Cascade County, testified in support of the DD program with written testimony. (See Exhibit #3.)
Peter Blouke, Department of Institution, representing Carroll South, Director of Department, said he is supportive of the requests made by SRS.
Jan Rammer of Helena, chairperson for the Legislative Action for DD Committee, said they are supportive of the Developmental Disabilities Program.
Gary Pagnotta, Assoc. of Independent Disabilities Services, Bozeman, said that there is now a waiting list of 600, and that they support the continuation of the DD Program.
Shirley Rammer, Great Falls, said they are parents of two mentally retarded citizens, Mary 28 and Andy 22. (See Exhibit #4)
Minutes of Meeting, Committee No. III A.M. November 9, 1981 Page 3
Bill Emge directs a residential program here in Helena for 68 mentally retarded adults. Testimony attached. (See Exhibit #5)
Myrtle Kelley, Missoula, said she is an epileptic and has hydrocephalus and had to stop school at age 16. She first went to a rest home and was unhappy there. Now very happy in the DD program.
Peyton Terry, Glasgow, Chairman, DD Council, Region I, was very enthusiastic regarding the DD progrpm. Retarded daughter, Paula, has had good results with the group home and urged support of continued funding for this program.
Bill Crivello, Kalispell, testified regarding sheltered workshops. He feels that more cuts, the clients will surely suffer, and it may cause them to have to return to institutions. Testimony attached. (See Exhibit #7)
Sam Sunwall, Conrad, said he is a parent who has a daughter with Down's Syndrome, and he has worked with others to try to get a program started. The daughter has attended special education, and they feel it is worthwhile funding.
Helen De Shazo, Missoula, read a letter from Ann Mary Dussault, Representative, House District #95, Missoula. (See Exhibit #8) Helen DeShazo has children in DD involved in special ed class and in group homes and is semi-independent.
Chairman Cozzens announced a 10-minute break and will resume hearing at 10:45 a.m.
Wally Melcher, Director of Region II Child & Family Services in Great Falls. This agency provides home training and respite services to Developmentally Disabled children and their families. Testimony attached. (See Exhibit #9).
Janice Bailey, Havre, said she is the parent of a handicapped child. Her testimony is attached plus letters from other interested parents who could not attend. (See Exhibit #10).
John W. Cromer, Board Chairman of Easter Seal/Goodwill Industries of Montana. Testimony attached. (See Exhibit #11). He supported Mr. LaFaver's request for funding, and also read a letter from John St. Jermain, Great Falls city Commissioner and Chairman of the Easter Seal Adult Training Center Advisory Board.
Marge Fehrer, Bozeman, a parent of two children, one who is in a semi-independent living situation and works four days at 4B's washing dishes. She also has one four-year old foster child who had been at Boulder. She is involved also with forty families as a respite-care coordinator, and hope the committee
Minutes of Meeting, Committee No. ITI ~.M. November 9, 1981 Page 4
will continue funding the DD operation.
Caroline Managhan, grandparent and the legal guardian of the little girl she pushed down the aisle in a little stroller provided by CDC was the next to testify. The child was wearing a hand .sling provided by the CDC and leg splints also are being made which would cost $225 for each. Little Tamara is 4 1/2 years old. Mrs. Managhan praised Montana for the services provided. Although she would like to be able to return to her former home to be with her family, she can't leave because of the need for the little child. One type of diet supplement costs $28 per quart. Respite care services are needed because of such constant care for little Tamara who has had many needs met.
Robert L. Hall, Director of Helena Industries spoke in support of DD and read testimony from Lester Loble, who was unable to attend. (See Exhibit #12).
The following persons testified in support of the DD program.

DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES DIVISION
OVERVIEW
Prepared for the 1981 Special Legislative Session
Background History
The Division provides community-based services for developmentally disabled persons with disabilities of mental retardation, epilepsy, cerebral palsy and autism.
The development of these services started with a commitment from the 1975 Legislature, which provided a substantial appropriation to develop services in the community. These funds were tied to reducing the populations in the institutions (see history graph). During the 1975-1977 biennium, new day programs and group homes began to appear in many cities across Montana and the number of clients served increased from 225 to 1,289. These new services generally accepted half the clients from the institutions and half from the community. Child and Family Services were developed toward the end of the biennium.
The 1977 Legislature provided no appropriation for the expansion of community services. The 1977-1979 biennium was a time to improve the quality and accountability of these service programs. The number of clients served increased from 1,289 to 1,547, with almost all of the increase in Child and Family Services. Waiting Lists started developing for the adult services which were not expanding.
The 1979 Legislature appropriated $815,375 to the Division to develop services for 60 people to be placed from the institutions into community services. The Division met this commitment by placing 62 persons by July, 1981, but few persons from the community were able to move into the limited new services and waiting lists continued to grow during this biennium.
OVER THE PAST SIX YEARS, THE STATE OF MONTANA HAS MADE A STRONG COMMITMENT TO PROVIDE SERVICES TO THE DEVELOPMENTALLY DISABLED IN COMMUNITY SETTINGS AND TO PREVENT INSTITUTIONALIZATION.
Services Provided
The Division has attempted to develop a continuum of services to appropriately meet the varied service needs of DD persons in the community and to ensure that clients can be served in the least restrictive and most cost effective services possible. As of September, 1981, the Division is providing services to 1,651 unduplicated clients at a total cost for contracted services for FY 1982 of $9,099,587. The average cost per year per client is $5,512. There are 1,054 adults receiving services which include day training programs, group homes, transportation and semi-independent support. Services are being provided to 629 children and their families. These services include family training, respite, adaptive equipment, evaluation, and children's group home (see service continuum descriptions). There are presently some gaps in the service continuum which impede client movement to more independent situations.

Budget Cuts
In consideration of the federal cut backs, the Division proposes reductions in two areas:
1. Reduction of the Division's operational costs by $149,000 through:
o
o
o o
elimination of 7.25 FTE's reduced staff travel, supplies, etc. reduced regional council honorariums, travel consolidation of regional office job functions
2. Reduction of administrative costs in DD contracts by $417 ,000 in:
o
o
o
o
supplies equipment staff travel combining administrative functions
Should reductions be mandated, the Division would renegotiate each provider contract.
SUMMARY
The bottom line is that this is a time of very difficult financial decisions which could have serious implications for the DD program. Reducing service levels in the community will force choices of less appropriate and more costly alternatives (see cost comparisons of service continuum). The cost per resident at BRSH is based on the total budget and is provided only for illustration purposes. Obviously, this cost would not be realized if several persons were admitted, but if a substantial number were institutionalized and another cottage were needed, additional costs would be considerable. Probable consequences of reductions in direct client services are:
0 fewer children remaining in own homes 0 more nursing home placements 0 more institution placements 0 less training and activities for clients 0 less supervision/more behavior problems 0 less independence/productivity for clients
It is impossible to deny that the State has citizens which will require support. The costs of providing services to the developmentally disabled will have to be paid somewhere -- hopefully, it will be with the least costly and most normal, humanistic alternatives available -- COMMUNITY-BASED SERVICES.

TESTIMONY GIVEN TO COMMITTEE III .• REPRESENTATIVE CHUCK COZZENS, CHAIRMAN.
November 9, 1981
Mr. Chairman, members of the Committee.
For the record, my name is Toni Bergene .. I represent District
#36, Cascade County.
It's very important to me to have the opportunity to express my
support and dedication to Montana's Developmentally Disabled program.
I am most familiar with Cascade County's program and proud of
the program providers, the staff, parents and most of all, the
clients themselves.
My most vivid experience, as I've been learning about the program,
is one that deals with Foster Care.
The Curtis family has a Developmentally Disabled Foster child who
requires 24 hour care, is severely handicapped, only 5 years old,
but of course very lovable and completely loved.
The sacrifice and love given by this family defies my understanding.
I ask this committee to continue RESPITE funding as well as a good
level of Foster Care funding.
I would remind the Committee to continue to honor the State's
commitment to this entire Developmentally Disabled program.

November 6, 1981
Representative Chuck Cozzens, Chairman
Human Services Subcommittee Helena, Montana 59601
Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee:
I represent the Montana Association of Rehabilitation Facilities. We are a non-profit organization of work-oriented rehabilitation facilities located in various counties throughout the State. Like the many work activity centers across Montana, we are also involved in providing vocational services training to developmentally disabled adults.
The attached Annual Report details very specifically the extent of our services and activities for the past fiscal year. As you can see, our membership consists of the larger vocational rehabilitation facilities in Billings, Missoula, Helena, Great Falls, Miles City, Butte and Kalispell, as well as other work-oriented facilities in Bozeman, Libby, Choteau and Hamilton.
Last year, our facilities generated nearly $2 million in additional revenues by which to sustain rehabilitation services to our clientele. This represents a tremendous savings to the taxpayer, because it minimizes the funds needed to provide on-going vocational training to the developmentally disabled.
Clients in our facilities earned wages totalling over $400,000. While the usual tendency is to look at the training activities provided to our clientele, it is important to recognize the wages, too. Earned income which the clients obtain through involvement in our vocational program helps to reduce disability payments and welfare benefits paid to handicapped adults.
As the data shows, we have placed 240 individuals into competitive employment. Through our vocational rehabilitation programs, developmentally disabled clients are able to move into competetive employment, by graduating out of developmentally disabled programs into programs sponsored by Vocational Rehabilitation, which are designed for emphasis on employment. Needless to say, our success in moving clients into competitive employment generates added savings to Social and Rehabilitation Services. Training slots are opened up for new clients to begin training, clients become less dependent on disability payments and welfare, and most important of all, the clients themselves become self-sufficient, contributing members of society through their own payment of taxes.
"
Representative Chuck Cozzens November 6, 1981 Page Two
I put the issue before you as succinctly as possible. We do not represent a financial drain on the system. To the contrary, we help to support it with our production funds. By serving clients and getting them placed into employment, we allow more individuals to enter training. This is extremely crucial at the present time, because of our lengthy waiting lists. And, as our clients are placed, they begin paying taxes, not depending on them for support.
Our facilities have continued to sustain Social and Rehabilitation Services-funded programs for the developmentally disabled over the past several years. Despite 1ess-than-adequate increases in training fees, we have served more clients than ever before. Of serious concern to us now, is the increased difficulty in maintaining our production funds and activities, which is what has enabled us to offset training costs in the past.
The cuts recommended by Social and Rehabilitation Services for programs serving the developmentally disabled will certainly have an impact on our programs and services. But, recognizing the overall problem facing all of us, we are prepared to once again "bite the bullet" and try to make it through what will obviously be a very difficult period.
We support the recommendations submitted by Mr. LaFavre. Further, we urge your Subcommittee and the Legislature to reaffirm their commitment to continue services to present clients, and to serve at least some of those individuals now on waiting lists. Failure to do so will only create longer waiting periods, longer waiting lists, more people referred to institutions, and an excessive and unnecessary expenditure of dollars used for care, maintenance and welfare.
We urge your thorough consideration and review of the situation now facing the developmentally disabled citizens of Montana.
Sincerely,
tiL-1M William J. Crivello, President
MONTANA ASSOCIATION OF REHABILITATION FACILITIES

Re: Funding for the Developmental Disabilities Program, SRS
Since I am unable to be in Helena for the hearing on funding for the Developmental Disabilities Program, I wish to take this opportunity to express my opinions on the subject.
As most of you know, the Montana Legislature established a state policy of deinstitutionalization and a state-wide system of community-based programs for the developmentally disabled in 1975. This was done for several reasons: the per capita cost of institutionalization was skyrocketing; community-based programs were demonstrated to be more cost effective; the institutional programs were serving a very small portion of the total developmentally disabled population ... most were living in communities where services were minimal, and in some cases non-existant; it was clearly demonstrated that growth and meturation of the developmentally disabled individual increased with a greater rapidity in more normal, community-based settings, whereas institutions fostered maladaptive and institutional behaviors; and finally, the institutions were holding individuals who simply did not need to be there. With the appropriate training, they were quite capable of living a more normal life on the lIoutside li
•
Community-based programs have in fact been developed throughout the State ... not without growing pains, and not without problems. But they are there, and they do work.
I repeat ... they do work. Let me cite a personal example. My sister, Denise, is developmentally disabled. She was never institutionalized. She is severely retarded. When she was growing up there were no programs in Montana. It was necessary to send her to Chicago for train'ing and schooling. There were no support systems for families with handicapped children ... no financial assitance was available. When Dennie was 18 and no longer eligible for the Chicago school, she came home. And still there were no programs she could participate in. So my folks, along with others in the same situation, started the Opportunity School. It was a beginning, and a good one. Today that program has developed into a day training and sheltered workshop program. I happen to be a Board member ... carrying out the work my parents started.
What about Dennie? She's great. She participates in a day program and lives, with her peers, in a group home. The progress she has achieved is nothing short of phenomenal. That's not garbage, th~t's fact.
Page 2
There are hundreds of Dennie's involved in our communitybased programs. Each one has a story to tell. Some are more poignant than Dennie's, but each as hopeful.
Montana is a leader in this nation in our services for the developmentally disabled. Parents of handicapped children now have support systems in place, to help them cope, understand, and work with their children. The children can participate in home training, pre-school, and special education programs. Adults who are developmentally disabled have access to day training programs, sheltered workshops, alternative living situations, and group homes.
During this budget cutting time, we all have a responsibility to ensure that programs that are humane, responsible, and cost effective remain in tact. This one qualifies.
We also have a responsibility to ensure that dollars are well spent and not wasted. I, too, am committed to that goal. As it turns out, my sister, Dennie, is no longer in the Opportunity Workshop Program. She is in another day program in Missoula. I am convinced that this type of duplication of services is neither necessary, nor cost effective. And I have committed my support, locally, to consolidation of the programs.
I th·'ow that bit of information in simply to demonstrate that dollars can be saved, and programs can be streamlined. But the system itself should not, and can not be dismantled. That is nothing short of foolishness and shortsightedness.
Good luck to you in your deliberations. I look forward to fighting with you on the 16th:
Respectfully,

Description of Child & Family Services
My name is Wally Melcher and I am the director of Region II Child & Family Services
in Great Falls. My agency, along with five others in the state, provides home training
and respite services to Developmentally Disabled children and their families. These
services include training for parents in such areas as stimulation activities to enhance
and accelerate their child's development; behavior management procedures to enable the
parents to deal more effectively with their child's behavior; and information regarding
the specific disabling condition or conditions that may be afflicting their child. In
addition to these training activities our home trainers provide on-going assessment of
the child's development. This assessment allows the parents to follow their child's
developmental progress, as well as, serves as a data base for the schools and other
agencies that may be involved with the child. Our home trainers also serve as program
and resource ma~agers for families assisting them in finding the most appropriate and
cost-effective services available. A report published by the President's committee on
Mental Retardation dated December 3, 1980 indicates that "corrective measures introduced
in early childhood can reduce the severity of the handicap and sometimes reverse its .(OY
course." This report further points out that the most effective change agents~facilitating
a child's development are its parents and specifically its mother. These facts are born
out by our own experience. We have been extremely gratified on numerous occasions by
the changes home training has brought about in the attitudes and actions of parents
towards their handicapped children.
Another important service our agency provides is respite. Respite quite simply is
the provision of a qualified child-care person who can go into the home of a handicapped
child or bring this child into their own home for a temporary period so that the child's
parents can have a brief rest from the stresses that parenting a handicapped child often
produces. This service has proven its worth repeatedly as is evident by 'the many grateful
comments we get from parents who are involved in it.
Respite and home training have two major goals. First, to allow each and every
child, regardless of their type or degree of disability to develop as happily and as
I normally as is possible. Secondly, it is the goal of these two services to maintain ~
each family, to the highest degree possible, as an intact unit. Quite specifically thiS.J
-to J;, <.. I" means to avoid, as often as we can, taking a child out of
p 16.t<-J... his/her natural home sn ....... ' e.g ,"
enem in a group home, nursing home or institution. 1!i
In 1975 the Montana State Legislature spear-headed a movement that started a significaj
action for its developmentally disabled citizens. This legislat~ action mandated that,
who resided in
extent possible, programs be created in communities and that D.D. persons • c ~ ... \"c .... s ,,,,s,'
the state~Ab~placed in these community programs where they could take
to the fullest
advantage of the freedoms and dignities other Montana citizens enjoyed. This movement
has been supported by the state administration, Providers of community services and, last i but not least, the parents of developmentally disabled persons. Inherent within this
movement was the belief that every individual is entitled to access the typical services
our communities 'have to offer and should be allowed to interact as independently with
t these services as the persons capabilities would allow. The young parents we are now
serving in Child & Family Services, in most cases, have not had to experience the emotioT ... agony of ~ plac~jtheir child in a large state institution such as Boulder. These
parents have "grown up" so to speak with Montana's de-institutionalization movement. As j a result of this they have been shaped to believe that institutions are not nice places ..,
hi! 1';
for children and that they will avoid placing their children in them at all costs. As we I
face cut backs in federal funding the services for D.D. children in Montana are threatened ••
I If these young parents lose their home training and respite support and possibly even the
III
option of children's community group homes then what alternative do they have left? I We are a human services system, working within a bureaucratic system, working within
~ a political system. All of these systems demand a cost-conscious and .etfective approach I
~ dtM.-. to service delivery. The Child & Family agencies in the state are~serv~ ~ families~
1S~ ~ I" in Home training and ~ families in Respite. This results in an average cost of
$2651.00 per year per child for Home training and $503.00 per year per child for respite.
This means that a child living at home attending a Special Ed. classroom, receiving
respite arid Home training would cost the Montana taxpayers $7025.00 per year. When ... ~
one i f
j
to maintain a child in Boulder River comp;l.:-es this figure with $46,771. 00 a year it costs
~ Schocl & Hospital the choice seems simple indeed.
h legislature to retain their committment ~vJe in Child & Family Services strongly urge t e
l' We support the p~t legislative to o~ developmentally disabled children and their fami 1es.
actio~s that have brought us to this bright point in the development of community-based
servi .:.es. , t for $22 million to maintain the service We also support Mr. LaFavor s reques
delivery system on its present course. i-le§Bc'f ::::g:8~e ~fLC'r sQRsieeriug tliestttfiPM tant

Dear Rep. Chuck Cozzens:
On November 9th the hearing for the developmentally disablPd will be held to determine whether or not the $22 mill ion will be granted to continue services. I very strongly urge you to support 'SRS's request for the monies needed.
On Dec. 20th of 1980 my son was born with spina bifida in Havre, t10ntana. lifter 34 days of intensive surgery and recovery in Billings he was able to come home with us. Very shortly after that I contacted Region II Child and Family Services Inc. in Great Falls and began to set up a program that would benefit my son - physically and mentally. Through their help and concern I feel my son has a much better chance of s~m~d;r becoming a productive citizen of our society.
I would like to briefly mention some of the services that we so greatly benefit from because of SRS's programs:
a home trainer visits our child between 3 and 4 times a month, bringing along materials and suggestions to try to help our son.
the respite care program has enabled us to spend elOme time away from our family and be assured that the caretakers are able to deal with his handicap while we are gone
through DREM monies we have been able to obtain medical attention in a larger metropolis and be able to use these funds for gas, food, and lodging.
our home trainer keeps us abreast on the latest workshops and meetings held that would benefit our son and us as parents.
the emotional support our home trainer gives us enables us to have a positive outlook even though we are the parents of a handicap child.
a parent support group in our city gives us a chance to hear how other parents are doing and of advancements they have made that encourages us to try new ways and new ideas.
Please take into consideration this testimony when making your decision on November 9th and in the weeks to come concerning the developementally disabled in the state of Montana.
A concerned parent,
Helen P. Hathwich 1169thSt Havre,~1ontana 59501 1-496-265-531 J

Dear Sir,
November 5, 1981
I am writing to you to express my support of early intervention with handicapped children. As an educator-with experience working with severely handicapped children I have first hand knowledge of the benefits of early intervention. Those children entering my class who have had the opportunity to receive Child & Family Services are far more advanced developmentally than those who have had no structured training previously. Not only that, many bad habits and behavior patterns can develop in the first years if parents are not trained in dealing with these children. It can take literally years to undo some of these learned behaviors. This takes away from school time which could be spent teaching more productive skills not to mention the wasted time during the child's earliest years.
The more independent and self-sufficient we can make these children the less resources it will take to maintain them through the educational system and through life. The first and very important step is early intervention.
CMlra
Sincerely,
Chris Maristuen 19 Beaver Creek Blvd. Havre, MT 59501

Dear Sir,
November 5, 1981
I am a teacher in a pre-school special education program and an very involved in the Child Find screening process. I think it is important to identify children with handicapping conditions. But the identification alone isn't that valuable without the services available to plan individual programs for each child and to train parents to work with their child to maximize the child's development.
Early intervention allows for training of children and parents rather than spending the first couple of years of instruction time unlearning imcompatable behaviors.

I would like to express my support for the early intervention services with handicapped children. As a special educator at the pre-school level I feel it is very important for a child to have services from the time of birth. In my opinion, it is also necessary for ~arents to have support services on a continual basis for various behavior problems and skills that their child will need.

Dear Representative Cozzens:
Box 565 Havre, Montana 59501 November 4, 1981
I am writing to you in regards to the appropriation of monies to the Developmentally Disabled Division.
As a parent of a profoundly and profusely multi-handicapped child, I cannot begin to tell you in this letter what the impact was on myself and my family when the DD Division set up parent training, respite care and group homes. It took me out of a virtual "prison" and gave me somewhat of a normal life. I have used all three services - parent training, respite care, and group home placement.
I fervently hope that no services for the handicapped are curtailed or dropped as they can make such a tremendous difference in the lives of those that have handicapped children. It is almost a matter of life and "a living death".
Thank you for all that you can do for those who live with the handicapped.
Sincerely,
c~~.do/7,ld;.d4U<~ Linda M. Hinebauch
JOINT LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE III _____ NOV~~b~~~;'/ TESTIMONY OF JOHN W, CROMER, BOARD,CHAIRMAN OF EASTER
SEAL/GOODWILL INDUSTRIES OF MONTANA
I WANT TO THANK THIS COMMITTEE FOR GIVING SOME OF YOUR PRECIOUS TIME TO US FOR A SHORT TESTIMONY CONCERNING THE DEVELOPMENTALLY DISABLED PROGRAMS IN MONTANA.
SINCE THE STATE HAS MADE A STRONG COMMITMENT ro DEINSTITUTIONALIZATION OF THE HANDICAPPED WE HAVE CONTINUED TO CARRY ON AN EFFECTIVE PROGRAM AT EASTER SEAL FOR THESE CLIENTS:
OUR ORGANIZATION, THROUGH ITS ADULT TRAINING CENTER IN GREAT FALLS AND ITS GOODWILL STORES AND PLANTS IN BILLINGS AND MISSOULA, IS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING WORK ACTIVITY, VOCATIONAL TRAINING, SHELTERED EMPLOYMENT AND VOCATIONAL PLACEMENT OF HANDICAPPED AND DISADVANTAGED ADULTS.
EASTER SEAL AND GOODWILL HAVE PROVIDED BOTH CONTRIBUTED AND SALES INCOME TO PROGRAMS PRIMARILY DESIGNED FOR THE DEVELOPMENTALLY DISABLED, RESULTING IN COST EFFECTIVE QUALITY COMMUNITY-BASED SERVICES FOR THE HANDICAPPED AND DISADVANTAGED.
I HOPE YOUR COMMITTEE WILL RECOGNIZE THAT EASTER SEAL SOCIETY/ GOODWILL INDUSTRIES HAS TWENTY FOUR DEDICATED BOARD MEMBERS FROM ALL AROUND OUR STATE WHO SERVE VOLUNTARILY, ALONG WITH MANY OTHERS ON OUR VARIOUS LOCAL COMMITTEES. THESE PEOPLE CONTRIBUTE OF THEIR TIME AND TALENTS' AND INCUR A GREAT DEAL OF PERSONAL EXPENSE IN TRAVELING AROUND OUR STATE TO ATTEND BOARD MEETINGS, COMMITTEE MEETINGS AND OTHER NECESSARY COMMITMENTS FOR THE ULTIMATE BENEFIT OF THE HANDICAPPED.
AS BOARD AND COMMITTEE MEMBERS WE FEEL WE ARE DOING OUR PART TO ASSIST THE STATE IN ADEQUATELY CARING FOR THE DEVELOPMENTALLY DISABLED. DURING THE PAST FIVE YEARS WE HAVE ABSORBED INFLATIONARY DECRE.ASES OF CLOSE TO 2596 IN OUR D.D. PROGRAMS. WE HAVE ALLOWED' OUR ADMINISTRATION TO TRANSFER WHAT WE FELT WERE LEGITIMATE D.D. PROGRAM COSTS TO OTHER SOURCES OF INCOME.
AS CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD, OF EASTER SEAL/GOODWILL INDUSTRIES OF MONTANA, I AM CONCERNED FOR THE WELFARE OF THOSE SEVERELY HANDICAPPED INDIVIDUALS CURRENTLY BEING SERVED AS WELL AS THOSE ON THE WAITING LIST. IT IS THESE CLIENTS THAT REQUIRE, OUR TAX DOLLARS'lHE MOST FOR THEY ARE LEAST ABLE TO GENERATE ANY SIGNIFICANT INCOME
# 2.
THROUGH SHELTERED WORKSHOPS OR RETAIL STORES. IT IS MY HOPE, THEREFORE, THAT YOU WILL SUPPORT MR. LaFAVER'S
REQUEST FOR FUNDING TO INSURE THAT THOSE CLIENTS LEAST ABLE TO SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES WILL BE GIVEN A CHANCE TO LIVE WITH DIGNITY IN OUR COMMUNITIES IN MONTANA.
The Easter Seal Adult Training Center is committed to the concept of providing
cost-effective cammunity-based services to the handicapped.
As a Great Falls City Commissioner and Chainnan of the Easter Seal Adult
Training Center Advisory Board, I am in a unique position to see what vocational
programs offered by the Adult Training Center mean to the handiapped and their
families and to cities such as Great Falls. These centers mean that even the
most severely handicapped members of our society can lead humane, fulfilled
lives in their cammunities and many times within reach of the support and love
of their fmnilies. The community, in turn, is able to offer these citizens its
support - by buying the products they produce and by generously contributing
either volunteer time and expertise or monetary support or both.
In many cases, sheltered employment services for the less severely handicapped
can achieve a measure of self -support. The needs of the more severely handi-
capped cannot, unfortunately, be met by relying on sales or contributions.
Their needs are many and their ability to produce in a manufacturing sense
limited ..
If the severely handicapped of Montana are to continue to live the humane,
fulfilling lives afforded them through the program funded by the Developnental
Disabilities Division, they need the support of the people of this state
through the legislature. I urge you to support Mr. LaFaver's request for
funding. It is essential to the handicapped's continued ability to live
with dignity in their cammunities.

TESTIMONY OF LESTER H. LOBLE, II, TREASURER, HELENA INDUSTRIES
COMMITTEE III OF HOUSE APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE
November 9, 1981
I am here today to testify in support of the budget for the Developmental Disabilities Division of the Department of Social and Rehabilitatio,n Services. I am a member of the board of directors and the treasurer of Helena Industries, Inc. I have attached a list of present and past board members of Helena Industries. All of these good people have served Helena Industries and its clients unselfishly. They have done so on a voluntary basis without pay. Their only vested interest is their commitment to Helena Industries as an institution which does good in our community.
My own commitment may have a bit more of my ego involved. In 1969 my services were "volunteered" to incorporate Helena Industries and get it off the ground. With a $20,000.00 grant from the Helena Model Cities Program we started. I was the first president of the board. When I left the board our annual budget was about $150,000.00. I was off the board for about seven years and have been recycled. Our budget is now $1.3 million. I am proud of Helena Industries and the work that it does in Helena.
Helena Industries is a "sheltered workshop". Our purpose is to provide rehabilitation services to those who are feasible for competitive employment, and sheltered employment for individuals who cannot compete in the open job market. The hope is that the individuals Which we train will be able to graduate to the ordinary job market with the restoration of dignity and self-SUfficiency that implies. It is an extension of that belief that institutionalization is a matter of last resort. Helena Industries provides Evaluation, pre~vocational training, vocational training, counseling, behavioral modification to modify inappropriate behavior and coordination among professionals within the community to see that clients get the training needed.
A COMMUNITY CORPORATION PROVIDING EMPLOYMENT AND PLACEMENT SERVICES TO THE ADULT HANDICAPPED INDIVIDUAL ACCREDITED BY: COMMISSION ON ACCREDITATION OF REHABIlITATION FACILITIES
Although Helena Industries serves clients with a variety of disabilities, today our focus is on developmental disabilities. Helena Industries presently has a contract with the Developmental ~ Disabilities Division of SRS under the Title XX Program. Pursuant to this contract Helena Industries provides services to 44 clients. However, the DD Division does not pay its way. The program budget is $510,118.00. Title XX funds provide 40.8 percent of that budget. On the other hand, the cost of the 44 clients are $307,272.00 or 60.3 percent of the budget. Helena Industries subsidizes the Title XX Program from income it receives from production. HeJena Industries produces various articles such as survey stakes, lath, knapsacks, etc.
During the past five years, Ti tIe XX Budgets have not ,kept up with the inflationary spiral. Purchasing power has been reduced 25 percent over those five years. The subsidy by the production arm of Helena Industries has taken up the slack.
At the same time, Helena Industries has a waiting list of 16. Helena Industries is committed to providing them the services which they need. So is the DD Division of SRS. We know that you have the same commitment. However, you are faced with the reality of substantial reductions in Federal funds which you have at your disposal.
We recognize that reality, and will do everything possible to maintain the current level of quality in services to the DD clients we serve. We will also work with the Division to absorb additional clients in our program at the least possible cost. However, we hope you recognize our legal and moral responsibility to maintain fiscal solvency in our corporation. ~
Helena Industries was organized with the hope in mind that it would ultimately be.autonomous, supporting itself on the products that it produced. In a sense we have reached that goal. Our contracts which we sign with the DD Division are fees for services. They are not grants. Nonetheless, we are looking forward to that day when we will be completely independent of even fees for services from state government. Our history has demonstrated that we have moved steadily towards that goal. A substantial cut now in the monies available for our contract with the DD Division would stagger Helena Industries and other providers. Please give us a little more breathing space. We hope that you will fund the DD Division budget at its requested amount.
Thank you very much for your time.

Dear Representative Cozzensl
I am writing on behalf of Community Services for the developmentally disabled. I have been associated with the development of these services since the beginning of deinstitutionalization. It is almost unbelievable .the progress that has been made. For the long term, I think it would be a costly economic mistake to cut ba.ck on s~rvices and funding now. It fact, this should have been a time for increased funding for community services to additional clients.
I wish that all legislators who visited Boulder before the establishment of Community Services could visit some of those same people in the clean, well-run group homes in Billings, the workshops, activity centers, etc., to see how happy, clean and active they are compared with the shocking scenes shown in the newsp~pers at that time--and for less money per client, too. I don't think any money is being spent on frills. I'm afraid a cut in funding will be a cut for necessities for a service that has to be provided for somewhere. Let's not make that "somewhere" Bou1der~ again.

You have been such a faithful advocate of Community Services for the developmentally disabled that this letter is more of a tha~k-you than a plea for your continued support, because you have followed the programs so closely that I know you appreciate the economic folly of discontinuing any of them.
I have been associated with the development of the Community Services since the beginning of deinstitutionalization and have seen them co~so far. They have most of the "bugs" out of the system, and the group homes in Billings are being so well run. It's too bad these federal funding cuts had to come at this particular time. It should have been a time for increased funding for community services to additional clients.
I wish that all legislators who visited Boulder before the establishment of Community Services could visit some of those same people in the group homes, the workshops, activity centers, etc., to see how happy, clean and active they are compared with the shocking scenes shown in the newspapers at that time-- and for less money per client, too. However, I think the services are being operated on a bare bones budget.

Dear S1rs:
November 8, 1981
I am wr1t1ng to express my concern for the a1d to some spec1al people.
Many worthwh11e programs now hav1ng to e1ther cut back or enterta1n the poss1b111ty of completely clos1ng are pass1ng through some most d1ff1cult t1mes. I am aware of the fact that many are most devoted to the1r part1cular cause and ·see reasons why the1r program should not be stopped.
I do be11eve however that all would agree that a1d to the spec1al people under your cons1derat1on should have top pr1or1ty.
It has been proven that when properly superv1sed and gu1ded these spec1al folk can mature and be a great benefit to soc1ety.
Let me urge you to do all 1n your power to see that help cont1nues to th1s most worthwh11e program.
S1ncerely yours,
Pastor Glenn Mrs. Gle

Dear Mr. Cozzens,
As the parent of a Developmentally Disabled young man, I am writing to encourage you to give adequate support to the financing of local programs for D.D's. We vitally need $5.2 million in general fund money to replace lost federal money for community services.
I think I can appreciate the dilemma you find yourself in trying to fund many worthy programs with less federal funding, but I urge you te give the above additional support because it is a good use of the tax dollar.
As President of the Ravalli County Association for Retarded Citizens, my research shows that local programs in the various communities around the state of Montana are able to do a far better prograai for far lesa lionel than the central "warehouse" in Boulder. ~
Thank you for your consideration.

Dear Sir:
November 5. 1981
As parents ofa deV8lopmental~ disabled young lady who is presently on the waiting list of Flathead Industries for the Handicapped we view with grave concern the possibility of funds earmarked for programs for people on waiting lists for such programs being used for other purposes.
Programs such as Flathead Industries for the Handicapped are vital~ needed if we are to enable developmentally disabled persons to mature to their fullest potential :tnd become contributing members of society.
We would ask that your committee give serious consideration to this area of funding.
