Justice Department Reaches Agreement with a North Carolina YMCA to Ensure Equal Opportunities for Children with Diabetes

The Justice Department reached a settlement agreement today with the YMCA of the Triangle in Raleigh, North Carolina, to resolve allegations that it violated title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) by refusing to assist a child with diabetes-related tasks, including administration of the emergency medication Glucagon, so that the child could participate in a YMCA after-school program.
