This document is a class action complaint filed in federal district court against Oregon state officials regarding employment services for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. It alleges that thousands of such individuals are unnecessarily segregated in sheltered workshops in violation of the ADA and Rehabilitation Act, and seeks injunctive relief requiring the state to provide supported employment services to allow integration into the community. It introduces the eight named plaintiff individuals and organizational plaintiff United Cerebral Palsy of Oregon and Southwest Washington, describes sheltered workshops and supported employment, and outlines the legal claims and requested relief.
Restraints and Seclusion Resources
The Department of Education today issued a resource document that present and describe 15 principles for state, district, and school staff; parents; and other stakeholders to consider when states, localities, and districts develop policies and procedures which should be in writing on the use of restraint and seclusion.

This issue brief discusses students with disabilities who are at greatest risk of poor employment outcomes after high school. Research has found that students with disabilities often have difficulty finding employment after leaving school. The brief aims to identify specific risk factors for poor employment through analysis of a national dataset. It also seeks to determine what schools can do to help mitigate risks, such as increasing vocational education and integration with non-disabled peers. The goal is to generate new knowledge that can inform more effective school interventions to improve postschool job prospects for high-risk students.

Statement of Interest File
This issue brief discusses students with disabilities who are at greatest risk of poor employment outcomes after high school. Decades of research show that students with disabilities often have difficulty finding employment after leaving school. The brief aims to identify the specific combinations of risk factors that put students most at risk of unemployment. It will analyze data on these high-risk students to determine what factors are alterable at the school level to improve their post-school employment prospects, such as involvement in vocational education programs or integration with non-disabled peers. The goal is to generate new knowledge that can inform more effective school interventions and strategies to help these high-risk students transition successfully to employment.
COPAA's Response to
COPAA rejects the conclusions of the American Association of School Administrators that seclusion and restraint protect students and school personnel. Data shows that these practices are disproportionately used on students with disabilities and minorities. While restraint may be needed to prevent injury, current laws do not sufficiently regulate seclusion and restraint. Federal legislation is needed to protect all students from potential abuse, as hundreds of documented cases show children have been injured and some have even died due to these practices.
NCD-NASDDDS Press Release
The National Council on Disability (NCD) sent recommendations and principles regarding Medicaid managed care for individuals with disabilities to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). The recommendations offer suggestions to address issues with managed care arrangements and make a series of recommendations to improve success. The accompanying principles articulate guidelines that must be followed to ensure people with disabilities benefit from managed care. NCD developed the recommendations and principles with NASDDDS to inform decision-makers on managed care for people with disabilities as Medicaid reforms expand managed care models.
ABLE Act Briefing Slides
The document provides information about ABLE Accounts, which are tax-advantaged savings accounts for people with disabilities. ABLE Accounts allow for savings to be used for qualified disability expenses without jeopardizing needs-based benefits like Medicaid. Key points include that ABLE Accounts were created by the ABLE Act to help individuals save for disability-related expenses, funds can be used for housing, transportation, education, and health care, and savings will not impact SSI or Medicaid eligibility until $100,000 is reached in the account.
ABLE Act Briefing, Thursday, February 16th
A Congressional staff briefing will be held on February 16 from noon to 1:30 PM in Room B-339 of the Rayburn House Office Building to explain the ABLE Act, which proposes tax-free savings accounts for the disabled. Congressman Ander Crenshaw and Senator Robert Casey introduced the legislation and a panel of experts including representatives from Autism Speaks, The Arc, and other disability organizations will outline the impact of the bill.

The TEAM legislation seeks to establish a coordinated approach to investing public resources to improve opportunities for youth with disabilities transitioning to adulthood. It includes three bills that aim to reform IDEA transition services, create state infrastructure for transitions within disability services agencies, and promote systems change through grants for integrated employment and education outcomes.

- The document discusses poverty and disability in the United States, noting that people with disabilities experience the highest rates of poverty of any subpopulation. It presents data showing that 27.9% of people with disabilities lived in poverty in 2010.
- It argues that a "cyclical dependency model" results in long-term impoverishment for people with disabilities, while a "self-sufficiency investment model" enables independence and community participation. Community-based services are more cost-effective than institutionalization and can help people with disabilities work and be self-sufficient.
- The document calls for transformational leadership and a shift toward policies that focus on the abilities of people with disabilities rather than their limitations in order to promote
