What the DOJ Memo Means for People with Disabilities
What is the DOJ memo? On June 18, 2026, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) released a letter about enforcing disability rights. The letter is called a memorandum, and it was written by the DOJ's Office of Legal Counsel. The memo is about a 1999 Supreme Court case called Olmstead v. L.C. & E.W. L.C. (Lois Curtis) and E.W. (Elaine Wilson) won the case, which said that people with disabilities should be able to get care in their own homes and communities, as long as it's “appro...

Letter from Leadership: The Chance to Make Life Better for Georgians with Developmental Disabilities
I am the Chair of the Grants Selection Committee for the Georgia Council on Developmental Disabilities. This work has taught me something important: a grant is never just a grant. On paper, a grant can look like numbers, forms, deadlines, and money. But behind every dollar is a real chance to make life better for people with developmental disabilities across Georgia. That is why this work means so much to me. GCDD gives out grants to fund projects. These projects help build a Georgia where pe...

Emory University Program Supports Autistic Students on Their College Journey
College is a big change for anyone. For autistic students, it can bring challenges that other students do not face. Challenges such as knowing how to study, when to ask for help, how to make friends, or how to manage daily life. Emory University’s Emory Oaks program meets those challenges head-on, with one-on-one support, practical tools, and a community where autistic students belong. “Autistic students face many of the same challenges as other college students,” said Kelsey Bohlke, Assistan...

Moving Georgia Forward with GCDD’s 2027-2031 Strategic Five-Year Plan
Imagine a Georgia where people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) are not just present in their communities but truly belong. Where people have friends, meaningful relationships, and opportunities to contribute. Where families feel connected and supported. Where young people leaving high school can see a future filled with possibilities. Where people with I/DD have a real voice in decisions that affect their lives—and where that voice is heard. The Georgia Council on Deve...

My Journey Home
For ten years, I lived in a nursing home. When people hear that, they often assume it was because I was old or because I needed medical care that could only be provided in an institution. That wasn't the case. I lived there because I didn't have access to the community supports I needed to live in my own home. Like thousands of people with disabilities across Georgia, I wasn't waiting for a miracle. I was waiting for the right support. Today, I'm writing this from my own home. It's still hard...

Letter from Leadership: Moving Forward Together
Welcome to August in Georgia. That time of year when it feels like sticky soup outside and yet the kids are back in the classrooms. It’s always felt to me like a time of transition. Which is extra fitting this year, because we are living through a time of major transitions. In less than three months, we Georgians will be heading to the polls to elect our next Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, U.S. Senator, and many more. For most of the top jobs, the person who holds th...
