  • ADA20周年の年に渡米して、全米難聴者協会を訪問してヒアリ­ングしたり、また難聴者の補聴設備のあるワシントン博物館や米国­議会、ケネディセンターを視察し、アメリカの雇用局やアクセスボ­ードの方々に会ってきました。

    全米難聴者協会の理事長は、ADAが成立して20年経ったが私た­ちのアクセシビリティはまだまだ改善されていない。闘いが必要と­言っていたのが印象的でした。

    

  • i don't hire disabled people because, thanks to the ada, they are a walking/wheeling lawsuit. thank the gov't for the fact that many business owners feel the same way.

  • These "acts" are crap if there are no attorneys to enforce the laws. Someone born retarded needs help from birth. What is a rule? What are men that program and rape retardeds. They are droves of gay men raping retards. Who can afford an attorney with a penny? Life for a medicare advantage plan? Why did we work and pay taxes? To retire sick? Taking children away and torturung them and thier moms for being BORN WONDERFUL? IT IS A COGNITIVE AND SENSORY DISSABILTY.

  • If.....i live in nevada with breathing difficulites because of mcs chem. Sensitivities and retardation. People refuse to even open a door so i can breathe. Community ctr on cambridge in lv nv. Walmart on trop. Some dys they will even spray windex in the air to sicken me.

  • You should start by stopping the stigmatization of those with so-called mental illnesses. Labeling people "PERMANENTLY and TOTALLY DISABLED" doesn't exactly make someone feel like they have a chance of anything changing for the better. Why don't you just tattoo "LOSER" on our arms. Ever try getting a job with a tattoo that says "LOSER" on your arm? Try it someday and see if you can get a decent job with any resemblance of dignity. Stop shuffling papers...just for a few minutes.

  • @anglekan Sure, if you have a disability!

  • can i get an accomodation for being white and being a u.s citizen?

  • Do you have accommodations for dim lightbulbs? :D

  • I am not the brightest bulb around here, wants accommodation. :D

  • I live with my mom and dad though and they help me when I don't know or need help and assistance (because I am sometimes not smart).
