New York police to learn about assisting people with disabilities
Many people in New York live with developmental disabilities. Unfortunately, many people in our state do not have a good understanding of these disabilities, leaving some either afraid or unsure of how to interact with those who have a developmental disability. Although this in itself is a problem that should be addressed, it can be especially problematic when people who are charged with protecting our communities don't know what to do. Fortunately, this may be changing soon in New York.
According to a recent article in the Times Union, police officers across the state will begin receiving training on how to interact with and assist individuals who have developmental disabilities. Thanks in part to the Developmental Disabilities Planning Council's executive director, the state was awarded a three-year grant worth $650,000 to work with.Although training is optional for police officers, they have been highly encouraged to attend by Governor Cuomo. The training, conducted by Niagara University, will provide officers with an overarching knowledge of how to interact with aide individuals with varying types of disabilities.As police officers are encouraged to take the time to learn more about the disabilities that affect so many people in New York, hopefully, it will create safer environments for the disabled community in our state. Unfortunately, New York police are not currently required to abide by any sort of code of behavior when working with people who have a mental illness or a developmental disability. Hopefully, however, the new training sessions will be a step in the right direction.Sources: Times Union, "N.Y. rolls out police training for handling disabled," April 21, 2013
La contratación de Terry Katz y sus asociados para representar mis intereses en mi caso de compensación laboral y discapacidad del Seguro Social demostró ser una decisión inteligente que arrojó un resultado extremadamente exitoso.
A través del largo e intrincado proceso, me di cuenta de lo valioso que era tener un equipo de representación altamente calificado, y así es como se describe al bufete de abogados de Terry Katz and Associates como «Representación legal altamente calificada». Me gustaría dar las gracias a todo el equipo que trabajó en mis dos casos, quienes siempre fueron profesionales, informados y extremadamente atentos. Durante todo mi caso, todas mis llamadas y correos electrónicos siempre fueron devueltos de manera oportuna. Mis preguntas siempre fueron respondidas de manera competente y profesional. Siempre entendí el proceso y sentí una confianza en el proceso que no habría tenido si no hubiera contratado a Terry Katz and Associates.
Principalmente, me gustaría dar las gracias a la Sra. Langdale, quien trabajó incansablemente tanto en mi caso de compensación laboral como en mi caso de discapacidad del seguro social. Su representación y su destreza legal en la sala del tribunal fueron impresionantes de presenciar. Nunca olvidaré la confianza con la que me sentí representada y protegida durante su discurso de apertura en mi audiencia de discapacidad del Seguro Social.
Durante estos tiempos difíciles, estaba verdaderamente agradecida de que la Sra. Langdale trabajara tan diligente y expertamente por mis intereses.
