Integrating the disabled into the community in the wake of Olmstead.
The June 1999 Supreme Court decision in the case of Olmstead v. L.C. and E.W. was heralded by disability advocates and others as the catalyst for greater integration of the disabled into communities. Since that time, the progress that states have made implementing the principles of the Olmstead decision has been slow, and enforcement of the decision has been difficult due to questions about the scope of the ruling. Federal assistance is available, but states still have a long way to go.
