ACKNOWLEDGMENTS February 13, 2020 Since the beginnings of its a development in 1983, the 211 LA County Taxonomy (formally titled A Taxonomy of Human Services: A Conceptual Framework with Standardized Terminology and Definitions for the Field) has benefited from the generous assistance of many people who have shared their expertise with us and helped us identify distinct human service concepts, the appropriate placement of those concepts in the hierarchy and clear, concise and accurate wording for preferred terms and definitions. A variety of authoritative publications have also been used in the design of both the structure and the contents of the Taxonomy, and many publishers have given us permission to quote, sometimes extensively, from their copyrighted materials. Also utilized in our research were brochures produced by agencies providing a targeted service; a variety of other human service taxonomies, thesauri and dictionaries; and, of course, all of the very useful websites that are available on the Internet. Below are the acknowledgments for those resources. Please note that we often use multiple sources to develop definitions which may not be word-for-word quotations from any one of the listed sources. Note also that some of the websites were accessed a number of years ago and the links may no longer be viable. When a dead link is identified, we attempt to find the document at another address and add the viable link, but because we still want to acknowledge our use of the material, we have not removed any of the references. In most cases, a note is added explaining the situation.
