commensurate with the rate for comparable work and productivity except as regional centers
are governed by section 246.151.

offered in settings used by the general public and designed to increase the person's active
participation in ordinary community activities.

rhythms of everyday living and working that are consistent with the norms of the mainstream
of society.
