- ADAPT (716)
Chicago Tribune Tribune photo by Carl Wagne: A march of ADAPT through the streets of Chicago. In front, left to right: a man in a red Chicago ADAPT "ADAPT or Perish T-shirt with a picture of man evolving from monkey to ape to man to wheelchair user, a man with no legs (Jerry Eubanks) in a manual chair chanting and holding a poster that reads "Free Our People" and being pushed by a man (Mark Pasquesi), a woman (Paulette Patterson) holds a bullhorn in front of her face, a man in a fishing hat (Bob Kafka) and yellow ADAPT shirt with a sign that reads "Attendant Services NOW!!". Behind the first man is a nab with a head pointer being pushed by a man (Tim Wheat) in a purple ADAPT shirt. Behind Paulette is a man in a suit in a wheelchair and beside him another man (possibly Michael Champion) and behind them a woman (Cassie James) in a power chair, and beside her a woman in a red shirt. As the line goes back it becomes less clear to distinguish people. Title: Disabled protest funds allocation Members of a disabled rights group begin a march from the Bismark Hotel to the regional offices of the Department of Health and Human Services at 105 W. Adams St. Monday to attempt to talk with representatives. The demonstrators, from the group American Disabled for Accessible Public Transit [sic](ADAPT), were protesting to have more money allocated for home care, rather than nursing home care. ADAPT wants the govemment to institute a policy to fund community-based attendant service allowing disabled people to stay home. - ADAPT (732)

Chicago Defender, Monday, May I I, 1992 Title: Sullivan speaks, get heckled at UIC by Dobie Holland Screaming slogans such as “You're killing us," a group of physically-disabled persons disrupted the commencement speech of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Dr. Louis W. Sullivan Sunday at the University of Illinois-Chicago. Security personnel removed the partially wheelchair-bound group from the UIC Pavilion and escorted them outside, where they joined 500 other protesters from 25 states who picketed outside during the ceremonies. John Gladstone, a Americans Disabled for Attendant Programs Today (ADAPT) member from Philadelphia, explained the group's militant tactics: “These are radical times. You can only write so many letters. l wrote so many letters to Mr. Sullivan that I had writer's cramp." ADAPT, a national Civil Rights agency, is concerned with Bush Administration policies that have resulted in widespread budget cuts in state Medicaid funding. The reductions, ADAPT members say, will force disabled people to live in nursing homes. The group is calling for 25 percent of Medicaid funds to be ear-marked for community-based nursing centers, which will enable many disabled citizens to live independently from nursing homes. “They're warehousing us (in nursing homes)," Gladstone said. “I've lived in nursing homes for 14 years and I have seen some of the brutality that goes on there." Gladstone said nursing homes are guilty of inhumane treatment and neglect of patients who are unable to defend themselves. The environment in nursing homes, Gladstone added, is not conducive to leading a normal adult lifestyle. "When you live in these nursing home facilities, they take your life away. When I first went into a nursing home, I was in a walker but they wouldn't let me walk and they put me in a wheelchair — now I can't walk," he said. Sullivan, who was under tight security, was not available for comment after the ceremonies. The HHS secretary delivered his address despite the nterruptions and emphasized a need for sensitivity and caring toward all humans. - ADAPT (719)
Sun Times, May 11, 1992 Photo by Brian Jackson: A line of police hold a long metal barricade in front of them.

Caption: Able to protest Police keep demonstrators in wheelchairs from advancing Sunday alter a protest of Health and Human Services Secretary Louis W. Sullivan's commencement address at the University of illinois at Chicago. The disabled activists were protesting "warehousing" people with disabilities in nursing homes and other institutions. Russell Goode, a Louisville, Ky., member of American Disabled tor Attendant Programs Today, said, “What we really want is Sullivan to reallocate 25 percent oi the money they give lor nursing homes to us and Medicaid or attendant programs.“ The money would enable disabled people to hire attendants, he said. - ADAPT (715)
[Headline] Local activist fights for independence in Chicago Desert Sentinel By Gary Bosworth Special to the Sentinel It is not normal Mothers Day present from a very unusual person. Susan Cote travelled to Chicago for Mothers Day, not to be with her mother, but instead to fight for the right of all mothers to live independently in their own homes instead of being forced to give up their independence in nursing homes. Cote has had cerebral palsy since birth, which has caused her need the assistance of wheelchair. She is joining about 250 other people from around the country. The will be all converging on Chicago in their wheelchairs to lobby for re-directing 25% of the existing nursing home federal dollars into attendant services so people are not forced to live in nursing homes against their will. American Disabled for Attendant Programs Today (ADAPT) has chosen Mothers Day for this intensive lobbying effort because over two-thirds of the people in nursing homes are somebody's mother. What better way to express gratitude to mothers everywhere, than show solidarity with the dreams of living independent lives. Cote, a mother of two teenagers herself, expresses it by saying, "It is important for people to understand that people do not end up in nursing homes because of the disabilities they develop. All persons with disabilities, no matter what their age are entitled to the right to be given the opportunity to live independent, productive lives in the community by being allowed to continue to live in their own homes." Over $20 billion dollars a year are spent by the federal government to subsidy nursing homes at an average cost of well over $30,000 per person each year. An equivalent amount of attendant services cost from $4,000 to $8,000 a year--a mere fraction of the nursing home cost. Cote, who eight years ago, worked herself as a Certified Nurse's Aide in a nursing home facility sees it as a simple choice for the government to make. "Why spend four times the money on something people don't need, don't want, and limits their own freedom.
