When a state has excellent core principles included in its Developmental Disabilities Act but no mechanism to fulfill them, one needs to listen, says policy analyst Kirsten Murphy of the Vermont Developmental Disabilities Council. Kirsten is not full of rhetoric but comes on my show with very clear goals and knowledge of how systems work. This short conversation is chock full of information. 'Mall therapy' is but one.
