Case

State of Alabama

Overview

On January 15, 2025, the United States sent a letter of findings to the State of Alabama, notifying the State that it is unnecessarily segregating children with physical disabilities in violation of Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).  Following an investigation into Alabama's long-term care system for children with physical disabilities, the Department of Justice concluded that Alabama fails to provide children with physical disabilities, including children in foster care and children with complex medical needs, with the services they need to live in their homes and communities.  As a result, Alabamian children with physical disabilities are unnecessarily segregated in nursing facilities and hospitals while other children are at serious risk of admission.
