On enforcement of the federal consent decree on supported employment and community-based day services for the developmentally disabled in Rhode Island
News blog follows implementation of landmark 2014 federal consent decree that requires Rhode Island to remedy violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act and the U.S. Supreme Court's Olmstead decision. Over ten years, Rhode Island must reinvent state services for citizens with developmental disabilities to give them opportunities for supportive employment and meaningful activities in their communities.
The quarterly public forum on developmental disabilities hosted by the Rhode Island Department of Behavioral Health, Developmental Disabilities, and Hospitals will be Tuesday, Aug. 8, from 4-6 p.m. at the Coventry Community Resource Center, formerly the Coventry Human Services and Senior Center, 50 Wood St., Coventry.
