Abstract	This report presents outcome information concerning programs of the Colorado Division for Developmental Disabilities. Preliminary information outlines the legislative goals and the program evaluation process, which involves a longitudinal evaluation of service outcomes for a sample of adults receiving services, using the COPAR (Colorado Progress Assessment Review) instrument. In the summer of 1992, a stratified random sample of 781 adults receiving services were surveyed; due to sample attrition, 743 adults were surveyed in 1993. Findings are reported in detail for each question on the COPAR instrument and usually include overall results, comparison by service approach, comparison with the general population, and demographic data, as well as specifics. Findings concerning employment, day program, school, and other services are organized by the following categories: (1) satisfaction with services (in residential and supported living settings and in both integrated and segregated day services); (2) decision-making opportunities; (3) community inclusion; (4) community integrated employment (growth in the program, comparison of wages to minimum wage, and growth in average weekly hours of employment; growth in total earnings; and changes in community integration); (5) talents and personal goals; (6) relationships and a sense of belonging; (7) personal security; and (8) self respect. Also included are data on Colorado citizens' agreement with the Division's service values and their interactions with people having developmental disabilities. (Contains 31 references.) (DB)
