Twenty years ago, the last resident left Fairview Training Center. When it closed in 2000 amid lawsuits and investigations, it was one of the largest and oldest institutions of its kind in the nation.

For nearly 100 years, Fairview was Oregon's primary institution for those with intellectual and developmental disabilities. For many residents, it was the only home they ever knew. For others, it was a living nightmare.

In commemoration of the 30th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), OPB is joining with other public media partners around the country to promote inclusion for people with intellectual and physical disabilities. The “Move To Include” initiative highlights the unique and diverse stories of people with disabilities. These stories and additional resources are available to teachers, families, and students through the PBS LearningMedia collection.

Move To Include is sponsored locally by Relay Resources.
