JUSTICE FOR AARON KYLLO

AARON'S STORY

Speaking for those who are being silenced, standing for those who are being forgotten.

Here are the officials and advocacy groups who are involved and a snapshot of continued advocacy.

*Disability Rights Washington
*Developmental Disabilites Ombudsman
*Governor Inslee
*Senator Zieger 

We are grateful for the actions of our government officials and advocacy groups who took action to ensure Aaron received the care he needs.

Aaron was at the bottom of a waiting list to enter the HMH ward at Western State hospital. Because of the advocacy for Aaron, he bypassed the wait list and will be transferred from St. Clares this Thursday January 17th, 2019. 

Although this is great news, it does not nullify Aaron’s 8 weeks of being in full restraints, forced to be incontinent, and in bed 23 hours a day. This is inhumane and a travesty. 

All Disabled Adults, especially those who are under the care and authority of Developmental Disabilities Administration ( DDA) should never be subjected to being dumped at hospitals which are not equipped to meet their needs simply because DDA did not secure placement.

Measures must be taken to address the rights for the disabled and justice for Aaron.

​

WE NEED YOU TO BE AARON’S VOICE

            We look forward to your answers and advocacy.
