The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has entered into an agreement with Simsbury, CT, that requires its recreation department to adopt a policy on diabetes management for children attending its summer camp program. A parent complained that the town didn’t provide reasonable modifications to its summer camp program so camp staff could test blood glucose and provide diabetes-related care to his daughter. Under Title II of the ADA, a public entity must provide reasonable modifications for a person with a disability, unless it significantly changes the nature of its service, program or activity.
