Key Points:
- The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Olmstead v. L.C. that segregated services for persons with disabilities are discriminatory and violate the Americans with Disabilities Act.
- However, a recent memo from the U.S. Department of Justice signals a narrower approach to Olmstead enforcement.
- Panelists will discuss the implications of the Department's new stance on Olmstead for the disability community from historical, advocacy, and practitioner lenses.
