    Trump's actions signal a move toward institutionalizing people with disabilities, advocates warn

    The Trump administration's recent actions, including shifting special education oversight to the Health and Human Services Department led by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and the Department of Justice lowering barriers to institutionalizing people with disabilities, have raised concerns among advocates. Critics argue these moves signal a return to the 'medical model' of disability, which views disabilities as defects rather than differences requiring accommodation.
