1 Things begin to change…?
5/13/2019 Sherrie Brown LSJ/CHID 434 January 14, 2009

2 Courts Reflect Changing Attitudes
Justice Marshall in Clebourne (1984) summarized the treatment of people with disabilities: “a regime of state-mandated segregation and degradation soon emerged that in its virulence and bigotry rivaled, and indeed paralleled, the worst excesses of Jim Crow. Massive custodial institutions were built to warehouse the retarded for life; the aim was to halt reproduction and nearly extinguish their race. Many disabled children were categorically excluded from public schools, based on the false stereotypes that all were uneducable and on the purported need to protect nondisabled children from them. State laws deemed the retarded ‘unfit for citizenship.’” He concluded that persons with developmental disabilities have been subject to a lengthy and tragic history of segregation and discrimination that can only be called “grotesque.”

3 Deinstitutionalization Movement
Those who support institutions, describe deinstitutionalization as primary cause of homelessness, decline in quality of urban life, and result in profound neglect of helpless/disturbed persons. Proponents characterize it as end of a system of oppressive, dehumanizing confinement. Began in mid-1950s and continues today.

4 In Washington State

5 Residential Habilitation Centers (RHCs)
Five exist in Washington State. Less than 1,000 individuals live in RHCs. Legislature in biennium budget ordered Fircrest to downsize. Heated debates over pro/con institutions. Legislature in biennium budget ordered a stop to the downsizing. Residential Services Study Commission to advise Governor Gregoire formed and disbanded in 2005/6. Efforts to close institutions in Washington State has been “put on back burner” by advocates because of the political barriers—i.e., strong union. Governor’s budget proposes closing Lakeland Village

6 Major Legislation Urban Mass Transportation Act of 1964
Architectural Barriers Act of 1968 Rehabilitation Act of 1973 RCW Washington State Law Against Discrimination Education for all Handicapped Children Act of 1975 Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act of 1975 (DD Act) Voting Accessibility for Elderly & Handicapped Act of 1986 Air Carrier Access Act of 1986 The Fair Housing Amendments of 1988 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990

7 Laws in a Nutshell Urban Mass Transportation Act of 1964 requires systems accepting federal funds be accessible to the elderly and people with disabilities. Architectural Barriers Act of 1968 requires that all buildings built with federal funds be accessible.

8 Laws continued… Rehabilitation Act of 1973: §501, §503, §504 protect persons with disabilities from discrimination in federal government, federally funded programs, by recipients of federal funds. RCW Washington State Law Against Discrimination (disability added 1973). Education for all Handicapped Children Act of 1975 (renamed IDEA in 1990 and IDEIA in 2004) requires free appropriate public education (FAPE) for all qualified children.

9 Laws continued… Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act of 1975 provides funding for services, state DD councils, P&A programs and Bill of Rights. Voting Accessibility for the Elderly and Handicapped Act of 1986 requires all polling places in federal elections be accessible for elderly and people with disabilities. Air Carrier Access Act of 1986 prohibits discrimination against any otherwise qualified individual with disability, by reason of such disability, in the provision of air transportation.

10 Laws continued… Fair Housing Amendment of 1988 provides protection in housing. Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 protects qualified people with disabilities from discrimination in the areas of employment, transportation, access to public services and facilities, and communication.

11 Discussion How are Coastal Center and Willowbrook different? How are they similar? “The nondisabled world sees powerlessness as the natural product of dependence and dependence as the natural product of our needs.” What is the government’s responsibility—if any—for individuals like Harriet McBryde Johnson or Bernard Carabello?

12 Discussion from Degener reading
What are the incentives that helped the disability rights movement develop? What are the contexts in which one can “find” disability rights laws? What kinds of equality laws does Degener discuss?
