§ 5504

Persons diagnosed with intellectual disabilities or other specific developmental disabilities have a right to live with their families or with other care providers; to participate in all aspects of community life; and to have access to appropriate leisure time activities. If residence in an institution is the least restrictive environment and the most appropriate setting reasonably available, it should be in surroundings and under circumstances as close to normal living as possible.61 Del. Laws, c. 270, § 3; 73 Del. Laws, c. 97, § 2; 78 Del. Laws, c. 179, § 216;
