LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — The Department of Justice has found that Nevada violates the Americans with Disabilities Act.
According to a release, the DOJ found that Nevada violates the ADA by failing to provide adequate community-based services to children with behavioral health disabilities, relying instead on segregated, institutional settings like hospitals and residential treatment facilities.
The investigation also found that Nevada lacks community-based services such as intensive in-home services, crisis services, intensive care coordination, respite, therapeutic foster care, and other family-based supports.
