Dautel, P., & Frieden, L. (1999). Consumer choice and control: Personal attendant services and supports in America. Report of the Blue Ribbon Panel on personal assistance services. Houston, TX: Independent Living Research Utilization.

Abstract

This report includes a set of recommendations from a Blue Ribbon Panel convened to propose policies strategies for promoting community-based, consumer-directed programs for long-term care and other support needs of persons with disabilities. The Panel generated a set of priority and secondary recommendations for reform at the state and federal levels. The many federal-level recommendations included requiring states to cover provision of PAS in the workplace and other locations outside the consumer's home, and funding research on the feasibility of providing a sliding scale fee or buy-in option for services for individuals who are otherwise financially ineligible for such services.
