NACDD knows that many people in the DD community are worried about the recent Department of Justice opinion on Olmstead.

The DOJ said that federal disability laws may not require states to provide services in community settings instead of institutions.

We want you to know that the law has NOT changed!

However, NACDD is concerned that the federal government may change how they protect the rights of people with disabilities in the future.
