The Americans With Disabilities Act: Successes and Failures
Number of pages:
11
ABSTRACT:
An 11 page overview of the history and provisions of this 1990 Act. The ADA has resulted in a tremendous improvement in regard to the lives of the disabled. There are, however, certain facts which we must acknowledge. These include reports on continued discrimination as well as concerns that the Act results in an unfair cost for employers and the requirement that they hire and retain employees who are inappropriate for meeting the demands of a particular job. This paper addresses each of these concerns to conclude that the advantages of the ADA outweigh any potential disadvantages. Includes a one-page letter to a Senator complimenting him on his role in implementing the ADA and encouraging him to turn legislative attention to educational partitioning in the educational arena which too often sets the stage for discrimination in the workplace. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
