Three Months after Jonathan was killed, the Governor of New York State signed Jonathan's Law which ensures that families of the disabled have access to all records and incidents of abuse regarding their care in all facilities statewide which were previously withheld from families.

Lisa has also completed a full-length nonfiction book detailing the entire story of Jonathan’s life and her family’s heartbreaking journey through tragedy which has led them to fight for the rights of the disabled in New York State. She is currently seeking a literary agent to assist in publishing this book.
