The Lanterman Act says you have a right to privacy. Privacy is deciding for yourself what you want to share and whom you want to share it with. A “right to privacy” means: • You do NOT have to share what is personal • You do NOT have to tell private thoughts to anyone • You do NOT have to share your private things • You have a right to be alone or with a friend 12 Tip If people aren’t respecting your privacy, tell someone. Tell a friend, a relative, your service coordinator, your clients’ rights advocate, or someone at your area board.
The Lanterman Act says you have a right to participate in an appropriate program of public education. For a long time, people used to think that if you had a disability, you couldn’t learn anything. So, people with disabilities didn’t go to school or college. The Lanterman Act says you have the right to go to school or college like people without disabilities. Other state and federal laws say this too. If you are under 22 years old, the public schools must provide you with a free education that is right for you. Once you are over 22 years old, you can get more education if you want it. 13
