Living Well: Know your Rights Guide for Families and Guardians

Rights are things that people can (or should be allowed to) have or to do. Sometimes people with disabilities have access to fewer or limited rights. This may be due to discrimination, low expectations, and even laws, both current and outdated laws, that may limit the rights of people with disabilities. This toolkit provides comprehensive information about rights of people with disabilities that are protected by state, federal, and international laws, the US constitution, and various court decisions. These protections help family members and guardians to understand, advocate for, and support people to exercise their personal rights and freedoms. We talk about what the right means, the laws, rulings, etc. that grant these rights, and why these rights are important.
