The Arizona Developmental Disabilities Planning Council and other organizations have received reports of communication devices being confiscated.
TUCSON, Ariz. — The Arizona Developmental Disabilities Planning Council is trying to navigate how to investigate claims of mistreatment in care facilities, schools or wherever an entity is responsible for providing care.
“We had families with caregivers looking after their loved one that let others know in the community that this is an issue,” said Steven Freeman, the communications director for the council. Freeman has a daughter with Down Syndrome, so he understands some of the barriers that could interfere with making reports on the record.
According to the Americans with Disabilities Act, individuals have the right to effective communication with people providing care.
