April 20, 2010 is the deadline for submitting public comment to the initial draft recommendations to the fifth version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, aka DSM-5.
After April 20, the draft will still be available for viewing, but comments will no longer be taken.
The anticipated release of the completed DSM-5 is May 2013 to coordinate with the scheduled U.S. implementation on October 1, 2013 of the International Classification of Diseases-10-Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) (World Health Organization/WHO) codes for all Medicare/Medicaid claims reporting. Chapter V of the ICD-10-CM is Mental and behavioral disorders. A related development is that the ICD is also in revision to ICD-11 - that revised version is expected to be released in 2014 or 2015.

Southwest Autism Research & Resource Center (SARRC) releases new study on housing options for adults with ASD
A March 1, 2010 news story describes the widely recognized needs of those with autism or related disabilities who are either adults or about to age out of school-aged programs, and the concerns of families - however this article strikes a more positive tone in describing the possibilities offered by the Southwest Autism Research & Resource Center (SARRC), a Phoenix-area program which emphasizes evidence-based services, including clinical, educational, vocational/life skills program, and opportunities to participate in clinical research studies and family support services.
With an eye to these future adult needs, SARRC has recently released a collaborative research study which examines housing design and options for those living with ASDs,

"With SARRC's vocational programs, Matt [Resnik, son of founder Denise Resnick] has learned to push himself and work in the community.
"He loves working at the library," Resnik said. "There is order at the library, there are numbers and letters. He likes filing those books and checking people in and out."
Dr. Daniel Openden [Ph.D., BCBA-D, SARRC Clinical Services Director] oversees programs for children at SARRC and he said Resnik is not alone in her fears about what the future holds for those affected by autism.
"When parents are first told about their child having autism, one of the first things that goes through their mind is, what's going to happen to them next and what's their future going to be like. What are they going to do, are they going to learn to talk, are they going to have friends, are they going to get a job, get married? They go right from having all these wonderful hopes and dreams for their kids' future to suddenly feeling like maybe those hopes and dreams may be crushed."
With early treatment and intervention programs, those affected with autism can enjoy a great life, Openden said."

IN THE NEWS: U.S. Department of Justice files preliminary injunction to block admissions to Conway Human Development Center, Arkansas
Below is a press release from the U.S. Department of Justice announcing a request for a preliminary injunction against the Conway Human Development Center in Conway, AR. The filing, besides its own stated merits, provides a case study on several grounds: the nature of the points made in the DOJ's filing and prior discovery; the background of lack of appropriate training in and application of behavioral assessment and intervention for both behavior management and re/habilitative purposes; allegations of violation of FAPE/IDEA; what constitutes appropriate standards of care and ethical professional practice; the discussion of Federal statute and prior case law in application of certain techniques, monitoring and community-based care. Links in this post were added to press release text to simplify access to primary documents referenced.
-----------------------------
"Department of Justice
The Justice Department today asked the Federal District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas to take immediate action to prevent children from being admitted to the Conway Human Development Center(CHDC) in Conway, Ark. The department’s motion for preliminary injunction aims to prevent the segregation of children with developmental disabilities in dangerous conditions and to address accusations of imminent and serious threats to the safety of the facility’s more than 500 current residents.
In January 2009, the Justice Department filed a complaint against the State of Arkansas to enforce the federal requirement that individuals with disabilities be served in the most integrated settings appropriate, and to remedy unconstitutional conditions at CHDC. Information collected through discovery since the filing of the complaint has led the department to conclude that residents face increasing and grave risk of harm with each day that deficiencies are ignored, and that Arkansas fails to serve individuals in the most integrated setting appropriate to the residents’ needs.
The United States has concluded that children at the facility are particularly vulnerable given allegations that CHDC residents are subjected to dangerous medication mismanagement and harmful, unnecessary restraints. In recent years, at least three CHDC residents have died, suffered possible permanent organ damage or been at risk of hemorrhaging to death because of psychotropic medication mismanagement. CHDC also continues to utilize 41 different forms of mechanical restraints on both children and adults, including straitjackets, restraint chairs and papoose boards - practices that have been largely barred from other facilities for years.
Between June 1, 2007, and Oct. 1, 2009, a CHDC resident was more likely to die than be discharged to a more integrated setting. On average, CHDC residents die at the age of 46.5 years, compared with the average age of 72 years for other individuals with developmental disabilities living in institutional settings. The number of individuals with developmental disabilities who are waiting to receive community-based services is on the rise in Arkansas, with over 1,300 currently waiting to receive services through the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services Alternative Community Services waiver program, with an average wait time of approximately two and a half years.
The Civil Rights Division is authorized to conduct investigations under the Civil Rights of Institutionalized Persons Act (CRIPA) and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA). CRIPA authorizes the Attorney General to investigate conditions of confinement in certain institutions owned or operated by, or on behalf of, state and local governments. In addition to residential facilities serving persons with developmental disabilities, these institutions include psychiatric hospitals, nursing homes, jails, prisons and juvenile correctional facilities. The ADA authorizes the Attorney General to investigate whether a state is serving individuals in the most integrated settings appropriate to their needs.

Justice Department Files for Immediate Relief Regarding Conditions at Conway Human Development Center, in Conway, Arkansas
The Justice Department today asked the Federal District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas to take immediate action to prevent children from being admitted to the Conway Human Development Center(CHDC) in Conway, Ark. The department’s motion for preliminary injunction aims to prevent the segregation of children with developmental disabilities in dangerous conditions and to address accusations of imminent and serious threats to the safety of the facility’s more than 500 current residents.
In January 2009, the Justice Department filed a complaint against the State of Arkansas to enforce the federal requirement that individuals with disabilities be served in the most integrated settings appropriate, and to remedy unconstitutional conditions at CHDC. Information collected through discovery since the filing of the complaint has led the department to conclude that residents face increasing and grave risk of harm with each day that deficiencies are ignored, and that Arkansas fails to serve individuals in the most integrated setting appropriate to the residents’ needs.
The United States has concluded that children at the facility are particularly vulnerable given allegations that CHDC residents are subjected to dangerous medication mismanagement and harmful, unnecessary restraints. In recent years, at least three CHDC residents have died, suffered possible permanent organ damage or been at risk of hemorrhaging to death because of psychotropic medication mismanagement. CHDC also continues to utilize 41 different forms of mechanical restraints on both children and adults, including straitjackets, restraint chairs and papoose boards - practices that have been largely barred from other facilities for years.
"The State has a responsibility to ensure the safety of individuals who reside in state-run facilities, and we must act swiftly when the state does not live up to that responsibility," said Thomas E. Perez, Assistant Attorney General in charge of the Civil Rights Division. "Individuals with developmental disabilities have the right to live in the most integrated setting appropriate to their needs, and states must take swift action to ensure that all individuals are accorded these basic rights."In addition to barring inappropriate restraints and requiring safeguards to prevent dangerous medication practices, the motion seeks to require that the state remove barriers to the provision of supports and services in the community, so that individuals with disabilities, including the approximately 50 children at CHDC, are not forced to choose between an unsafe institution and the denial of necessary services in a more integrated setting.
Between June 1, 2007, and Oct. 1, 2009, a CHDC resident was more likely to die than be discharged to a more integrated setting. On average, CHDC residents die at the age of 46.5 years, compared with the average age of 72 years for other individuals with developmental disabilities living in institutional settings. The number of individuals with developmental disabilities who are waiting to receive community-based services is on the rise in Arkansas, with over 1,300 currently waiting to receive services through the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services Alternative Community Services waiver program, with an average wait time of approximately two and a half years.

State legislation - Oklahoma - Bills to establish scholarships for students with disabilities; one would also expand the "Self-Directed Care Program"
Committee substitute for House Bill 3393: Developmental disabilities; modifying the Self-Directed Care Pilot Program; creating the Scholarships for Students with Disabilities Program; codification; effective date; emergency.HB 3393 passed in the Oklahoma House on 3/4/2010 with a vote of 78 to 19 and was referred for engrossment.
The committee substitute for House Bill 3393 would establish the Scholarships for Students with Disabilities Program for the purpose of providing a scholarship to a private school of choice for students with disabilities who have had an individualized education program (IEP) developed in accordance with the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.
The measure specifies criteria that must be met for the student to receive a scholarship and directs the State Department of Education to approve a private school as eligible to participate in the program based on specified criteria. The bill also provides that, beginning with the 2010-2011 school year, a school district may satisfy its duty to provide special education and related services for children with disabilities by providing a scholarship at the request of a parent for a child to attend a private school or by transferring the child to another school district upon written request by the parent and approval of the receiving district.
HB 3393 would also amend the Self-Directed Care Pilot Program administered through the Oklahoma Department of Human Services by expanding the program statewide and changing its status from pilot to permanent; under the program, individuals with developmental disabilities are given a budget allowance in which they direct services rather than a third party. This creates a saving that is shared by the individuals directing and receiving the service and with the Department of Human Services.
A similar bill, which has a similar scholarship condition without addressing the Self-Directed Care Pilot Program is,
House Bill 3327: Schools; creating the Scholarships for Students with Disabilities Program; codification; effective date; emergency.HB 3327 referred to the House Appropriations and Budget Committee on February 2, 2010 and is currently noted as "dormant" at the legislative website.
An Act relating to schools; amending 70 O.S. 2001, Section 13-101, which relates to special education services for children with disabilities; authorizing districts to provide scholarship for certain students to attend certain institutions; creating the Scholarships for Students with Disabilities Program; stating intent; specifying procedures; establishing eligibility requirements; establishing formula for maximum scholarship amount; clarifying school districts not responsible for additional costs; precluding liability; providing for codification; providing an effective date; and declaring an emergency.

U.S. House approves H.R. 4247: The Keeping All Students Safe Act - bill to restrict use of restraint and seclusion in U.S. schools
H.R. 4247: The Keeping All Students Safe Act.
From the press release from the House Committee on Education and Labor
"...The Keeping All Students Safe Act would establish, for the first time, minimum federal standards to provide equal protections to all students, in every state across the country. It would make clear that physical restraint or locked seclusion should be used only when there is imminent danger of injury and only when imposed by trained staff. It would prohibit mechanical restraints, such as strapping children to chairs, misusing therapeutic equipment to punish students or duct-taping parts of their bodies and any restraint that restricts breathing.
It would also prohibit chemical restraint, which are medications used to control behavior that are not consistent with a doctor’s prescription.
The bill would prohibit school staff from including restraint or seclusion as planned interventions in student’s education plans, known as Individualized Education Programs (IEPs). It would also require schools to notify parents immediately after incidents when restraint or seclusion was used..."
If H.R. 4247 progresses to Federal law, it would apply to all public and private schools which accept Federal funding, and all states would be expected to comply with, if not exceed, the conditions specified in the bill.
Some private schools are seeking exemption from the conditions of the bill, and some advocates are proposing that the Act apply to all schools, public or private, whether Federally funded or not.

State advocacy news: South Carolina Ways and Means proposes slashing services for Department of Disabilities and Special Needs - would eliminate all DDSN services except residential
The South Carolina Department of Disabilities and Special Needs estimates that should the cuts not be restored, by necessity it must meet the needs of 4800 individuals in residential care; to accomplish that in the face of the proposed budget cuts would require elimination of service to 25,700 consumers being served under categories such as,
- autism,
- brain injury,
- mental retardation, and
- spinal cord injury,
- early intervention,
- day programs,
- workshops,
- respite,
- family support,
- acute rehabilitation for traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injury,
- attendant care,
- the Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) program,
- specialized therapies, and
- service coordination.
The South Carolina Department of Disabilities and Special Needs sent a lettter dated February 26, 2010, to Daniel T. Cooper, Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, informing him of the impact of the proposed cuts and requesting that funding be restored.
Carolina Autism, and many other groups, such as the South Carolina Autism Society, have issued alerts for stakeholders to contact their state legislators as well as a reminder of an especial need for face-to face advocacy at the already scheduled Wednesday, March 3, 2010, Disability Advocacy Day at the South Carolina Statehouse.
