Real People-Real Voices

Overview

People with disabilities who have been institutionalized in nursing facilities and similar institutions will share their personal experience of the Institutional Bias in the American Long Term Care System: What it was like living in an institution; How they managed to get out of the institution; and What it is like now, living in the community. You will listen as this testimony is presented before a panel consisting of representatives from the Department of Health and Human Services - Office on Disability; National Council on Disability; American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD); National Disability Rights Network (NDRN), ADAWatch and the National Council on Independent Living (NCll).
