"Shangri La http://www.shangrilaoregon.org/coastasp.html is for Oregonians with disabilities or economic disadvantages." This program helps people become productive members of society. They use what is called the "Human Interaction Principles" (HIP) Those principles include diversity, communication, learn, teach, act, responsibilities, rights, and trust. It also has Shangi La Principles which include: stakeholders, relationships, financial sustainability, personal focus and community trust. This organization can support special educators in the classes it provides for students who need to become familiar with their services. When our students leave the programs at 21 years of age this is a resource for them.
This organization was founded in the 1960's by a group of 15 families who believed their loved ones needed better care for their children with disabilities. This organization began on the outskirts of Salem, Oregon in 1963. "For the next 15 years, Shangri-La Corporation continued to deliver what was then considered state-of-the-art services. Three cottages, a large greenhouse, gardens and sheltered employment programs were added to the existing school program."
They have a pretty extensive and well thought out plan as you can see by going to the website. http://www.shangrilaoregon.org/files/documents/OrganizationalChart8-28-2008.pdf
