This presentation was given at Disability Rights International and the European Network on Independent Living's webinar on the right of all children to a family by Dr. Ruthie-Marie Beckwith. The presentation includes the statement on the importance of family-based care for children with disabilites issued by the US National Conference of State Legislatures and the TASH Resolution on Community Living. It outlines shifts in public policy in the US and the UK regarding the institutionalization of children with disabilities and underscores the limitations of residential care and the importance of family strengthening.
