Of late, considerable attention has been paid to the educational provision of children with profound and multiple learning difficulties (P.M.L.D.), (Evans & Ware, 1987; Hogg & Sebba, 1986). Why has the spotlight suddenly fallen to this group of children? Improved postnatal care, high standards of medical care generally, and a wider range of life-sustaining medication has increased the longevity of brain-damaged children, and more are able to enter the education system. In addition, the demise of hospitals for people with a mental handicap has meant a cessation of educational provision for children with mental handicap within these settings. As the concept of normalization permeates the health and social services departments, more “care in the community” projects arise, and children not living at home with their parents are given places in community-based residential facilities (Wolfehsberger, 1972).

Abstract Integration of health and social services is touted as a key method to address social needs and improve population health. We will share the latest evidence on how Area Agency on Aging (AAA) partnerships with health care entities and other organizations improve health outcomes for older adults, while reducing health care costs. AAAs are community leaders in cross-sectoral partnerships that effectively address social determinants of health for older adults, who account for a substantial share of overall health care spending. Results of a longitudinal study (2008 – 2016) which links data from four waves of the National Surveys of AAAs to data on county-level health outcomes show that AAA–health care partnerships and programs reduced health care utilization and costs. AAA partnerships with hospitals reduced Medicare spending by $136 per beneficiary. AAA involvement in evidence-based health promotion programs decreased potentially avoidable nursing home use by nearly one percentage point (representing a change of 6.5%). Finally, we will describe the prevalence and nature of contracting relationships between community-based organizations and health care entities, based on data from the 2020 CBOs and Health Care Contracting Request for Information, the third national RFI of AAAs, Centers for Independent Living, and other aging and disability community-based organizations.
