Helen L. v. DiDario .
Segregation is the worst form of discrimination facing people with disabilities.
The case that was heard in the Supreme Court is Olmstead v. LC . This case involves two women with cognitive disabilities and mental illness who were residents of a Georgia state psychiatric hospital. Professionals assessed both for placement in the community but the State did not want to provide community services to these individuals. In 1998, a federal appellate court ruled in favor of the women and this decision was challenged in the Supreme Court. As of the June 22nd decision, the case was sent back to Georgia for trial.
