DOJ Obtains Comprehensive ADA Agreement with Virginia's Developmental Disabilities System | Jan 2012


The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has reached a detailed settlement agreement that will change the Commonwealth of Virginia’s system for serving people with developmental disabilities, including intellectual disabilities, and resolve violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The agreement expands community-based services so that Virginia can serve people with developmental disabilities in their own homes, their family’s homes or other integrated community settings. Over the next 10 years, Virginia will expand community services by providing home and community-based Medicaid waivers to nearly 4,200 individuals.
