And apparently the US District Court in Oregon is in agreement!

From NDRN: Breaking News

Yesterday, the U.S. District Court in Oregon issued a 16-page Opinion and Order in the case Lane v. Kiltzhaber, 3:12-cv-00138-ST. The Lane complaint claims that failure to provide supported employment services violates Title II of the ADA and the integration mandate. The Court granted the state defendants’ motion to dismiss the complaint, but without prejudice and with leave to amend, while directing the Plaintiffs how to correct the wording of the complaint. Most importantly, the Court determined that the plaintiffs have valid cognizable claims under Title II of the ADA and that the integration mandate applies to the provision of employment-related services.
