It looks like the ARC of Michigan is up to it's usual extreme agenda of trying to sharply limit the choices of people with developmental disabilities, their families, and guardians. <br /><br />Fortunately, the folks at CMS got an absolute earful on this radical proposal and are reportedly going "back to the drawing board" on these ideological, impractical, and ill considered proposals. Cutting off funding for people happily living in stable communal settings is not only wrong ("community-based" means a lot of different things to different people), it's down right mean-spirited to make people move and close down organizations because of some far fetched notion of what's right for me is right for everyone. Those who want independent living are entitled to it...but so too people who prefer group settings. The recent smack down the DOJ got in Arkansas Federal Court will hopefully moderate the zeal of advocates like the ARC of MI to impose their views on others. <br />http://media.arkansasonline.com/news/documents/2011/06/08/Conway_Human_Development_Center_ruling.pdf<br /><br />Choice in living arrangements should be the bedrock principle, not some radical misinterpretation of what the Olmstead decision actually said.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
