Lane v. Brown Settlement (12-29-2015)

~~“Under the Settlement Agreement, Oregon agreed to continue its policy of decreasing the State’s support of sheltered workshops for people with I/DD in Oregon, and expanding the availability of supported employment services that allow individuals with I/DD the opportunity to work in competitive integrated employment settings.  The Settlement Agreement provides relief to two target populations – (1) adults with I/DD who are 21 years old or older and worked in a sheltered workshop on or after January 25, 2012 (sheltered workshop target population), and (2) transition-age youth with I/DD between the ages of 14 and 24 who are found eligible for services from the State’s Office of Developmental Disability Services (ODDS) (transition-age target population)”
