People with Disabilities
The Center's disability related projects include research, dissemination and technical assistance on legal, health care and work-related issues for children and adults with or at-risk of a disability or chronic conditions, including mental illness, addiction disorder, lead poisoning, developmental delay or HIV Infection. Specific projects include:
- Legal analysis of issues faced by managed behavioral health care organizations.
- Research related to implementation of a 1999 Supreme Court decision (Olmstead v. L.C.), expected to lead to deinstitutionalization of thousands of people with disabilities.
- Technical assistance on federal and state policies on work-incentives for people with disabilities.
