The Olmstead Supreme Court Decision 10th Anniversary Celebration

If you’re not busy on July 24, please come! :)

The Olmstead Supreme Court Decision

10th Anniversary Celebration and

Town Hall Meetings 2009!

The Olmstead Supreme Court Decision was a milestone decision for people with disabilities.  Grounded in the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Decision requires States to develop a comprehensive plan to offer disability-related services in the most integrated setting appropriate to each individual’s needs, so that people with disabilities are not forced to live in institutions.

Come and celebrate this historic Decision, hear from people with disabilities how this Decision has helped them to remain independent and have choice, and learn ways you can become involved in promoting the home and community based services philosophy of the Olmstead Supreme Court Decision.

Friday, July 24th 9:30 to 11:30 in Iowa City, Newman Catholic Student Center/University of Iowa

Provided through the combined efforts of: Iowa Olmstead Consumer Task Force; Iowa Centers for Independent Living in Council Bluffs, Oskaloosa, Waterloo, Iowa City, and Rock Island, Illinois; the Iowa Statewide Independent Living Council; the Iowa Department of Human Services; and the University of Iowa Center for Disabilities and Development.
