 In 1973, Burton Blatt, the head of the school of Special Education at Syracuse University, invited him to accept a professorship there, and to establish an entity from which he could further develop and teach his ideas.It was no mistake that the name Wolfensberger gave to the institute he created and directed at Syracuse University had the word “change agentry” in its title - The Training Institute for Human Service Planning, Leadership and Change Agentry.During the 1970s, Wolfensberger regularly taught (among things) an intensive six-day workshop on “Planning of Comprehensive Community-based Human Service Systems.” In effect, this entire workshop was dedicated to both the principles of change agentry and to what an adaptive service system would look like if it were established or transformed according to these principles.
