Community Integration Program
by M. Armstrong & S. Lauzen

The Community Integration Program contains a set of testing tools and treatment activities for getting individuals back and into the community. The program was originally developed for the Rehab. Program at the Harborview Medical Centre in Seattle, and then broadened in scope to include other patient populations including psych, burn, adolescent, neuro and MR/DD.There are over 20 modules to make sure that the individuals understand community safety, emergency preparedness, how to see cultural events, how to shop or go to a restaurant, how to travel (inside the city, across the nation and outside the country) and much more. Forms for running the programs are included, and you can copy them for your programs. The forms include initial screening, pre-test, field trial, post-test and chart notes. . . . . . also forms relevant to recreation activities, information on safe travel, . . . stories about therapy that worked and therapy that didn't.
Modules include:

  • Community Environment
  • Physical Activity
  • Community Activities
  • Transportation
  • Cultural Activities

Written for medical/rehab environment, uses treatment terminology. Has been used successfully in group home settings with adults with developmental disabilities to identify areas which could be focused on to increase independence and community integration.
