Ambulatory Impairment Research Paper

Decent Essays
We observe that the percentage of population with disabilities increases with the age (this is particularly true for ambulatory impairment). We can therefore already foresee 2 different types of population with probably different needs in term of education/training/employment:

Children who have to grow up (pursue education) being differently-abled. Their special needs are probably more in terms of education than professional insertion

Adults becoming differently-abled through the aging process or events of life, probably translated in terms of needs:
Adaptation to their new situation to keep their job.
Training to be able to find a new job, if their disability prevents them to keep their initial job (e.g. person with ambulatory impairment

    To analyze the development and the legislative history of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), it is important to discover the definition of disability as enacted by the United States Congress. “When Senators Weicker and Larkin first introduced the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA; Public Law No. 101–336 [1990]) in 1988, only 30 percent of people with disabilities in the United States were employed. Title I, the section of the ADA pertaining to employment discrimination, sought to address this persistent no employment among people with disabilities. The law served to extend antidiscrimination provisions of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Public Law No. 93–112 [1973]) to the private sector and to clarify congressional intent…

    Essay #2: Disability or Enhancement? In this essay, I will argue that Gauvin’s parents were not morally justified in their decision to permanently make their son born and remain deaf because by doing so the parents are treating the child as a lesser equal and are inflicting psychological harm. The role of parents is to ensure the wellbeing, safety, and support of their child in hopes that they can become stable, independent, and functional individuals in the near future. However, choosing a sperm donor with a history of deafness or any other disabilities is morally unjust because it is specifically taking a trait and implanting it upon a child causing them a life of hardships that they have to endure.…

    In modern American society, both inside and outside the workplace, people who show visible signs of any form of handicap are frequently discriminated against for mostly, if not specifically, that reason.

The prejudice against the disabled for nothing more than their handicap is commonly referred to as ableism; indeed, even with such a large amount of the population on their side, the disabled have not yet reached equality in comparison to the able-bodied.
