When it comes to caring for people with developmental disabilities, New York state has a mission: helping them live richer lives. This commitment guides the choices we make and dictates that such individuals reside and be served in the community whenever feasible. Mary Beth Pfeiffer's June 20 story ("At $4,556 a day, N.Y. disabled care No. 1 in nation,") did an injustice to the efforts made in recent years by the effective partnership of advocates, families, providers and the state to expedite the movement of people with developmental disabilities out of developmental centers and into the community.
