Disability-Inclusive Disaster Preparedness And Response: Challenges And Opportunities For Reconstruction In Haiti,, Janet E. Lord
Articles
Hurricanes Rita and Katrina poignantly demonstrated the failure of U.S. federal-level disaster preparedness to respond effectively to the needs of disabled beneficiaries. Similarly, the 2004 Asian tsunami revealed major shortcomings in humanitarian assistance operations conducted by international agencies to address the needs of affected persons with disabilities. The adoption of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD)' in 2006 highlights disability inclusion as a human rights issue in humanitarian emergencies. It is within this context that the Haitian earthquake on January 12,2010, presents a major challenge, but also an opportunity to address disability inclusion and apply lessons …

While the overall framework for monitoring and implementing the CRPD resembles existing core human rights instruments, it has some notable features. The CPRD Committee is endowed with several innovations of significant potential, especially in the breadth of reporting and investigative procedures, thereby offering prospects for other treaty bodies and the human rights system more …

"With Faces Hidden While The Walls Were Tightening": Applying International Human Rights Standards To Forensic Psychology, Michael L. Perlin
Articles & Chapters
Although there are now robust bodies of literature in both Alaw and psychology and in international human rights law, there has been remarkably little written about the specific relationship between forensic psychology and international human rights standards (and about the relationship between mental disability law and such standards in general). Attention is paid when it appears that state psychiatry or psychology is used as a tool of political oppressions e.g., in the former Soviet Union or in China, but the literature is strangely silent on questions dealing with the extent to which forensic psychology practice comports withinternational human rights norms. …

Faculty Publications By Year
Many voices over the last decade have called for reform in special education in American public schools. As the number of those receiving services under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (“IDEA”) has grown, scholars and pundits have increasingly argued that the system not only is failing to meet the needs of many children with disabilities, but in some cases is actively causing harm to those it is intended to serve.
Over the last several years, an increasing number of state legislatures have proposed or have passed laws that give children with disabilities public money to attend a private school. …
