CIL-NET at ILRU CIL-NET Presents… Filing Complaints to Leverage Olmstead Enforcement: The Kansas Experience A National Teleconference & Webinar March 22, 2012 Presenter: Shari Coatney

CIL-NET at ILRU Olmstead History 101 What is Olmstead? How did the Olmstead Ruling come to be? How are the Olmstead Ruling and ADA connected? Now focus on “Filing Complaints to Leverage Olmstead Enforcement” 2

CIL-NET at ILRU Olmstead History 101, cont’d. Olmstead is the 1999 Supreme Court judgment in the case Olmstead v. L.C. The case was brought against the Georgia State Commissioner of Human Resources, Tommy Olmstead on behalf of two women with developmental disabilities known as L.C. and E.W. They were diagnosed with mental illness. They were voluntarily admitted to Georgia Regional Hospital for treatment in a psychiatric unit. After some time, they indicated their preference for discharge and the professionals working with them assessed that they were ready to move into a community setting with appropriate support. 3

CIL-NET at ILRU Olmstead History 101, cont’d. 2 However, they were not successfully discharged from hospital and in 1995 the Atlanta Legal Aid Society brought this lawsuit and it was eventually heard by the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court ruled that under Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act the women had the right to receive care in the most integrated setting appropriate and that their unnecessary institutionalization was discriminatory and violated the ADA. 4
