25 Years Of The Americans With Disabilities Act
- 1. 25 Years Of The Americans With Disabilities Act By: Nathan Young @nvyoung
- 2. 25 years ago, President George H.W. Bush signed the Americans With Disabilities Act.
- 3. The act requires public places to have access to the disabled. It also requires ways for the disabled to have the opportunities to be successful in their lives.
- 4. Yes, public places have gotten better for the disabled. BUT, many of these same disabled people often struggle with having ways to have a successful life.
- 5. For example, people with disabilities often deal with people who want to bully them.
- 6. And many people with disabilities often struggle with finding employment opportunities.
- 7. Yes, some with disabilities have seen their lives approve, for example the Paralympics rock!
- 8. But, we often face stereotypes every time a major event, like a mass shooting happens.
- 9. And did mention the cyber bullying as well?
- 10. People in America must REALIZE that those with disabilities are wonderful people!
- 11. Sadly, here in Alabama. The state has the MOST people with disabilities than any other state in America. Alabama leads the nation in disability rates, as nearly a third of Alabama residents require some assistance to negotiate basic daily life. The disability rate in Alabama is 31.5 percent.
- 12. People with disabilities are NOT lazy people!
- 13. People with Asperger’s are not weird people!
- 14. We NEED people to quit bullying us!
- 15. We can be successful, but we need to be given a chance!
- 16. Because many with disabilities are not given a chance, we often have to rely on Social Security Disability.
- 17. I mean, thankfully there is disability, but America needs to do a better job with those with disabilities.
- 18. In 2010, less than 1 in 5 people with disabilities held a job. I mean, this is not how it’s supposed to work in America!
- 19. People with disabilities have to often deal with bullying, unemployment, discrimination, and more. I mean, this has to stop for good!
- 20. It’s time for people to treat those with disabilities with dignity and respect!
- 21. In Closing The Americans With Disabilities Act has done wonders, but we have a long way to go before those with disabilities have the opportunity to live the dream!
