Gail Bowen has been fighting since the closure of Agnews Developmental Center to have her son transferred to Sonoma Developmental Center (SDC). The San Andreas Regional Center has fought her in every way, ignoring the rights as a parent and conservator given to her in the Lanterman Act.
We posted a short article this past July about the latest developments in Michael K.'s case. (Road to residency at SDC hits another snag for one disabled man) Well, the matter has finally been resolved, and Michael will be moving to SDC.
VOR has published a review of the case on their website. (California: Procedural win is moral victory for family) It will give you an idea of what Gail has been put through in her efforts to get the best appropriate care for her severely disabled son. We also recommend that you click through and read the entire case. It is really educational and something all PHA members - or anyone with a severely disabled person in their family - need to be aware of.
