VIEWS FROM OUR MEMBERS

The Texas Chapter of AAIDD is launching a new interactive opportunity to voice your opinions on “hot topics” that impact people with IDD, their families and their support systems. Each newsletter will contain a question that has been raised by the membership, and we invite you to submit comments online by clicking here. Comments will be reviewed and a representative sample of ideas will be published in the following newsletter. Anonymous comments may be submitted but will not be considered for publication.

The following is our first question, raised by the membership during the convention in Corpus Christi:

Staff at State Supported Living Centers (formerly known as State Schools) are now required to wear a brightly colored vest, much like the vests worn by retail store employees, so that they can be identified as staff on surveillance tapes and in other situations. What are your thoughts about this practice?

Let us know how you feel by following this link.
