On the Outside

On the Outside The book was first published by the WV Developmental Disabilities Council in 1998. The original print version is also available from the WV Book Company.

The book On the Outside was first published by the WV Developmental Disabilities Council in 1998, the same year the state closed its last institution for people with developmental disabilities. The book offers first-hand accounts from people about their experiences living in institutions and shows how their lives have changed since returning to the community. The Council is commemorating the 25th anniversary of On the Outside and the milestone it represents by publishing an e-book edition on Kindle. In addition, the Council has commissioned a mini-documentary and series of podcasts to air during 2023. The Council is grateful for support from the WV Humanities Council in the creation of On the Outside. https://wvhumanities.org/
