The 1999 Supreme Court Olmstead Decision
requires states to administer their services,
programs and activities "in the most integrated
setting appropriate to the needs of qualified
individuals with disabilities."
Since 2000, the Alabama Medicaid Agency has
served as lead agency for the Olmstead Planning
initiative in collaboration with the Governor's
Office on Disabilities. The following
documents may help you understand the state's
response to the Olmstead Decision and the
Alabama Medicaid Agency's role in that response.
