continue to experience a lack of choice and control over their service
options. The goals of the Real Choice

about how, where and by whom services and supports are delivered.

are partners in Real Choice Systems Change grant and have evolved separately over
time. The Vermont Department of Aging

Vermont Division of Mental Health are working collaboratively to increase
community integration, real choice and control for elders, younger adults with
physical disabilities, people with developmental disabilities and their
families, and adults with severe mental illness.
