08 Aug Can individuals with disabilities use public transportation?
The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 provided a national mandate to end discrimination against individuals with disabilities in private sector employment, all public services, and public accommodations, transportation, and telecommunications.
Research information about specific services for individuals and/or families of individuals with disabilities (use examples from your local community if possible). Based on these resources, evaluate whether the mandate of ADA has made an impact on the lives of individuals and families with disabilities.
Questions to discuss include:
Are employment opportunities equally available for individuals with disabilities?
Are medical services equally available for individuals with disabilities?
Can individuals with disabilities use public transportation?
