to design a new reimbursement system.

emotional disturbance, focusing the research on states that have been nationally recognized for the development of ´systems of
care´ for these children, and then analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of these programs for Massachusetts and what steps the
Division would need to take to implement each such program in the Commonwealth
Client:
Client: Iowa Department of Human Services
