CONSORTIUM FOR CITIZENS WITH DISABILITIES

On 5/14/2018, ATRA signed on to the Consortium for Citizens with Disabilities letter to House and Senate leaders supporting the Disability Integration Act (S. 910 and HR 2472). If passed, this would ensure the rights of people with disabilities to live full and independent lives within their communities by providing access to community services and removing institutional bias associated with federal programs like Medicare and Medicaid. This will reduce the segregation of people with disabilities into institutional settings in order to receive needed services.
