Next steps and thoughts to consider for the field:
- I think it would be interesting to actually have to use the tools provided to put together potential policy. The hands on potential of learning by doing something like that could be really valuable.
- How difficult is it for agencies to avoid lobbying? It seemed like there were lots of disclaimers on the cdc site about this?
- Why do we let services for children/young adults with disabilities drop off after a certain age?
- While the materials are great, the amount of steps seems somewhat daunting. I think as a semester project, with each portion broken out, it could be a great learning tool.
