  • Title: Disabled clients, constituencies, and counsel: representing persons with developmental disabilities.
    Author: Herr SS.
    Journal: Milbank Q; 1989; 67 Suppl 2 Pt 2():352-79. PubMed ID: 2534156.
    Abstract:
    Legal representation of people with developmental disabilities entails singular challenges. Within the past two decades, nevertheless, lawyers, clients, and constituency or self-advocacy organizations have worked to establish particular educational, residential, and activity services as legal rights. When violations of these rights occur, litigants may initiate either individual or multiparty actions capable of placing institutions or service delivery systems under mindful judicial scrutiny. Remaining barriers to instituting and sustaining effective attorney/client relationships need to be overcome, lest enforcement of constitutional and statutory rights be inhibited.
