VIDEO: DISABILITY RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS VIDEO: DISABILITY RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS Print Imagine what it would be like if you didn’t have access to your office because you couldn’t climb the stairs. What if you couldn’t use a public restroom, fly on an airplane, or know which train stop was yours because they weren’t announced and you couldn’t see? All of those challenges existed for people with disabilities before the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA). When it was signed into law, disability rights were expanded and people with disabilities couldn’t be denied access to jobs, school, transportation, or public places. Looking Back, Reasons to Celebrate On the 30th anniversary of the ADA, Judith Heumann and John Wodatch, a civil rights lawyer who authored the regulations of the law and its precursor, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, co-wrote an op-ed for The New York Times in which they said we should celebrate it and how much things have changed. They wrote that people with disabilities endured a harsh life in the U.S. before laws were enacted to protect them. At various times, states enforced legalized segregation of persons with disabilities; disabled children couldn’t go to public schools, some were put into institutions for life, marriage was prohibited, and some were sterilized. Few buildings or public restrooms were accessible, and jobs were scarce, as was public transportation. The ADA changed all that. It gave disabled persons dignity and self-worth, letting them know they had the same rights as others, they wrote. “Yet just as many of the injustices that the Civil Rights Act aimed to eliminate are still very much with us, and still being resisted, the full promise of the Americans with Disabilities Act has yet to be realized,” the op-ed read. “We are not yet where we need to be. Looking Forward, More Work to Do People with disabilities often remain invisible, even though they comprise approximately 25 percent of the U.S. population, and represent all social, racial, and ethnic classes regardless of geography. Part of the problem, Heumann and Wodatch write, is that so few people with disabilities hold leadership positions. Boardrooms, entertainment, and political power are mostly vacant of those with disabilities. As Heumann told NPR, the ADA "not only can help disabled individuals learn about our rights, but I think also can really foster a sense of dignity and pride within disabled individuals to recognize that we are not the problem, we are not the ones that need to change. It is the society around us." According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 61 million—one in four—adults in the U.S. has a disability. These include challenges with mobility, cognition, hearing, vision, or others. Watch: In 1988, before the passage of the ADA, Heumann, then heading up the World Institute on Disability, spoke to Congress about the prejudices and discrimination that people with disabilities encounter. Her testimony and the experiences she shares are powerful reminders of the rights we all deserve. Need help with this video? Click Here Consider This: The ADA Generation is a term used to describe people with disabilities born after the ADA was enacted. According to a story in The New York Times, they are quicker than earlier generations to claim disability as part of their identity and express pride in it. They’re also more likely to disclose a learning disability, a chronic condition, or a psychiatric disability than previous generations.
