Child in Need of Care (CINC) cases often involve children and families with disabilities who may be protected under Federal laws from disability-based discrimination. Disability rights protections attach when an individual with a disability is eligible to receive services from state and child welfare agencies, child placing agencies, state courts, and community-based service providers that receive Federal grants and assistance (e.g., Title IV-E and B, Medicaid, State Court Improvement Program, etc.) from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in programs and activities that receive HHS financial assistance. Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 prohibits disability-based discrimination in child welfare programs, services, and activities administered by State and local government entities. An individual with a disability means a person who has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, a record of such an impairment, or is regarded as having an impairment. Substance use disorder is an example of a physical or mental impairment under Section 504 and the ADA.
Learning Objectives
- Become familiar with the legal definition of a qualified individual with a disability.
- Understand who is covered under federal disability laws and what entities must comply with the laws.
- Hear examples of disability discrimination in the child welfare system.
