Abstract

This bibliography provides brief descriptions of the available literature on personal assistance services cooperatives (PAS co-ops). PAS co-ops, which began in the 1980s, provide a model for PAS service delivery that has the potential to benefit both PAS consumers and PAS workers. Cooperatives have both a social and an economic mandate, existing to improve the lives of member-owners as well as compete cost-effectively in the marketplace. The annotated bibliography includes information on PAS co-ops organized for the benefit of PAS consumers with disabilities, and those organized for the benefit of PAS workers. It also includes information about cooperatives where both PAS consumers and workers are member-owners, thus ensuring voices from both sides.
