Acknowledgments
The Bazelon Center wishes to acknowledge the generous support of the
William T.
Grant Foundation in supporting the production of this guide and some
of the underlying research upon which it is based. The guide relies heavily
on research conducted in 2001-2002 by the Bazelon Center under grants
by the Center
for Mental Health Services (which funded a study of states’ use
of the TEFRA option) and the Grant Foundation (which funded surveys of
states regarding the barriers to using the TEFRA option or the home- and
community-based waiver for children with mental or emotional disorders).
This family guide was written by Chris Koyanagi, the Bazelon Center’s
policy director, in consultation with staff attorney Mary Giliberti, edited
by communications director Lee Carty and designed by deputy communications
director Christopher Burley. Callie Schlippert and Lisa Conlin, parents
of children with serious emotional disturbance, commented on the draft.
The analysis is based on research directed by Rafael Semansky, senior
policy analyst, with the assistance of interns Ellen Lupinski, Leigh Ann
Simons and Andy Mack.
