Trump's actions signal a move toward institutionalizing people with disabilities, advocates warn

Advocates are concerned that recent actions by the Trump administration could lead to the institutionalization of people with disabilities, reversing decades of progress made in ensuring their rights to education and integrated living. This shift could undermine the hard-won advancements in inclusive policies and support systems that allow individuals with disabilities to live full, integrated lives within society. The implications are significant, as such a move could not only harm those affected but also roll back the societal acceptance and support that has been built over the years.
