Annotation

This is a companion document to Day Reporting Centers, Volume 1: Summary Report, which details the development and current features of American day reporting centers (DRCs). This volume contains more detailed reference material for individuals interested in starting new, or refining already-established, DRCs in their communities.

Abstract

This document consists of four sources of information: (1) comprehensive survey results, where respondents were asked to rate a list of possible DRC goals; (2) sample program materials, from programs in Harris County (Houston), Texas; Hartford, Connecticut; Maricopa County (Phoenix), Arizona; and Hampden County (Springfield), Massachusetts; (3) summaries of researchers' visits to four day reporting programs, each reflecting common features of DRCs as well as distinct individual characteristics (e.g., large size, State or local level of operation, and co-location of services); and (4) a list of contacts at the DRCs that responded to the survey.
