with developmental disabilities and traumatic brain injury must be based on individual need,
provided by appropriately qualified individuals, and available to persons with developmental

or privilege guaranteed by law, the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, or the Constitution of
the United States without due process of law. (Acts 1995, No. 95-690, p. 1502, §2.)...
