The Disability
Law Center (DLC) recently released its investigation report on the
treatment of children in the Therapeutic Intervention Program (TIP) at the Peck
School in Holyoke, Massachusetts. The report shows disturbing findings of
“abuse and neglect, improper practices, and unsafe conditions” and that “[t]he
District must take immediate corrective measures to prevent further harm to
these children.”
The DLC, led by Executive Director Christine Griffin
(who also serves as Chair to AAPD’s Board of Directors), is an organization
“authorized to investigate incidents of alleged abuse, neglect, and civil
rights violations of persons with disabilities within the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts.”
