jul 22, 1999 - Olmstead Decision

Description:

"The U.S. Supreme Court issued the landmark Olmstead v. L.C. decision. The Supreme Court ruled that segregation of people with disabilities when integrated, community-based settings are an option, is a form of discrimination under the Americans with Disabilities Act. Through this decision, the Court sent a message that long-term services and support for people with disabilities of all ages, including participation in community living or employment, must reflect what is appropriate for and desired by the individual."
