Abstract

These remarks will focus on the constitutional issues surrounding the treatment and habilitation of children with mental disabilities. I believe that we need to rethink the premises on which we construct our analysis of these problems, and it will surprise few in this audience that I conclude the Supreme Court of the United States did not get it precisely right.
