DISABILITY ISSUES INFORMATION FOR JOURNALISTS HOME TOPICS ABOUT THE CENTER Supreme Court Upholds ADA 'Integration Mandate' in Olmstead decision Washington, DC, June 22, 1999 In rejecting the state of Georgia's appeal to enforce institutionalization of individuals with disabilities, the Supreme Court today affirmed the right of individuals with disabilities to live in their community in its 6-3 ruling against the state of Georgia in the case Olmstead v. L.C and E.W Under Title II of the federal Americans with Disabilities Act, said Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, delivering the opinion of the court, "states are required to place persons with mental disabilities in community settings rather than in institutions when the State¹s treatment professionals have determined that community placement is appropriate, the transfer from institutional care to a less restrictive setting is not opposed by the affected individual, and the placement can be reasonably accommodated, taking into account the resources available to the State and the needs of others with mental disabilities. " The 'integration mandate' of the Americans with Disabilities Act requires public agencies to provide services "in the most integrated setting appropriate to the needs of qualified individuals with disabilities." The high court upheld that mandate, ruling that Georgia's department of human resources could not segregate two women with mental disabilities in a state psychiatric hospital long after the agency's own treatment professionals had recommended their transfer to community care.

If enacted, the regional accrediting agencies would use the guidelines to set standards for granting accreditation to distance-education programs and institutions."

Georgia Association of Homes and Services for Children Education of Disabled Children in State Custody Children who are severely emotional disturbed in the custody of the State residing in Therapeutic Group Homes are regularly denied educational services by the State Board of Education. Federal Law requires that these disabled children be provided ' free appropriate public education ' at State expense. Presently, Georgia is educating these children either with child welfare dollars or providing no dollars at all for their education. Federal Law requires that these children be educated at State Expense by the State educational agency Federal Law also requires that these children be accounted for. This accounting is not happening in Georgia. Georgia's Attorney General in his opinion dated December 3rd, 1996 citing Georgia law concurs about the need for DOE funding: "Therefore, it is my official opinion that school-age children placed by the DHR or DJJ in a facility who remain in that facility for more than 60 days must be provided a free education by the local school system in which the facility is located unless the child is in a youth detention center, confined pursuant to a court order or unable to leave the facility."

Bruwelheide, Ed.D.* A few highlights: The new, improved 110(2) permits performance and display of almost all types of works. There are some exceptions but the benefits are still substantial. There are still gaps between what we can do in distance learning situations vs. what we can do in a face-to-face teaching situations. For distance learning situations, think "clips and snips" which represent "reasonable and limited portions" for audiovisual works and dramatic, musical works. Read Georgia Harper's material for a more complete explanation and how fair use will be helpful for distance learning needs outside of the TEACH Act. Georgia Harper also covers exclusions from coverage and conditions, which apply. Her checklist is very helpful. The receiving location language has been expanded and no longer limits transmission of content to classrooms devoted to instruction and similar sites. Distance learners may be reached at any site by accredited nonprofit institutions as stated in the language that the benefits apply only to a "government body or an accredited nonprofit educational institution." The "accreditation" for post-secondary education institutions is "as determined by a regional or national accrediting agency recognized by the Council on Higher Education Accreditation or the US Department of Education." As regards elementary and secondary schools status the accreditation "shall be as recognized by the applicable state certification or licensing procedures."

Most teachers are not as equipped to handle the needs of today's children and families as they could be. Universities and community colleges need help as they strive to enhance their preparation programs. This report highlights the need for preparation programs in early childhood education to do more to help teachers and caregivers involve families in school or center life. It addresses the fundamental skills that early childhood educators should have to more fully involve families in their young children's lives at school and in the childcare center. Recommendations for creating more effective preservice and inservice programs are offered in this report, along with ideas for programs that work.
