25 Years Of The Americans With Disabilities Act

25 Years Of The
Americans With
Disabilities Act
By: Nathan Young

25 years ago, President George H.W. Bush signed the
Americans With Disabilities Act.

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.

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.

For example, people with disabilities often deal with
people who want to bully them.

And many people with disabilities often struggle with
finding employment opportunities.

Yes, some with disabilities have seen their lives
approve, for example the Paralympics rock!

But, we often face stereotypes every time a major
event, like a mass shooting happens.

And did mention the cyber bullying as well?

People in America must REALIZE that those with
disabilities are wonderful people!

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.

People with disabilities are NOT lazy people!

People with Asperger’s are not weird people!

We NEED people to quit bullying us!

We can be successful, but we need to be given a chance!

Because many with disabilities are not given a chance,
we often have to rely on Social Security Disability.

I mean, thankfully there is disability, but America needs
to do a better job with those with disabilities.

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!

People with disabilities have to often deal with
bullying, unemployment, discrimination, and more. I
mean, this has to stop for good!

It’s time for people to treat those with disabilities with
dignity and respect!

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!
