2010 marks the 10-year anniversary of the closure of Fairview Training Center, Oregon's largest institution for people with developmental disabilities. Since Fairview closed, advocates and policy makers have worked diligently to end the wait list for adult services by creating a community-based system of support services that offer self-determination and choice. The decade ended on a high note last October with the closure of Oregon's last institution for people with developmental disabilities, Eastern Oregon Training Center.
The Oregon Council on Developmental Disabilities and the Oregon Developmental Disabilities Coalition are sponsoring the event, which will include a proclamation from the Governor, an awards ceremony, remarks from influential advocates for people with developmental disabilities, and the unveiling of an awareness poster co-produced by The Arc of Oregon. This year's poster will focus on promoting employment as a first option when planning for the future with people with developmental disabilities. The theme for the poster, co-produced with the Arc of Oregon, is "With good planning and supports, Everyone can work."
