Report Abuse or Neglect What's New APS Conference Partners in Prevention Conference DFPS Handbooks 2004 Annual Report ... Commissioner announces historic changes for DFPS In 2003 and 2004, several high-profile abuse and neglect cases ended in tragedy, focusing intense scrutiny on the state’s Child Protective Services (CPS) and Adult Protective Services (APS) programs. It was clear that the state’s overwrought protective services system had reached a breaking point and expectations were unrealistic considering the resources and systems in place to protect children and vulnerable adults. As a result, Governor Perry directed the Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) to investigate and reform APS and CPS, both programs of the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS). HHSC launched an independent review of relevant laws, cases, training procedures, policies, management and organizational structure, and more. By the end of 2004, HHSC had issued recommendations for reforming DFPS. DFPS responded by organizing 24 work-groups to lay the groundwork for reform, while awaiting direction and funding decisions from the Legislature.

U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division Disability Rights Section COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT CHILD CARE CENTERS AND THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT Coverage 1. Q: Does the Americans with Disabilities Act or "ADA" apply to child care centers? A: Yes. Privately-run child care centers like other public accommodations such as private schools, recreation centers, restaurants, hotels, movie theaters, and banks must comply with title III of the ADA. Child care services provided by government agencies, such as Head Start, summer programs, and extended school day programs, must comply with title II of the ADA. Both titles apply to a child care center's interactions with the children, parents, guardians, and potential customers that it serves. A child care center's employment practices are covered by other parts of the ADA and are not addressed here. For more information about the ADA and employment practices, please call the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (see question 30). 2. Q: Which child care centers are covered by title III?
