Roosevelt signed Executive Order 8802 prohibiting government contractors from engaging in employment discrimination based on race, color, or national origin. * In July 1948, President Harry S. Truman orders the desegregation of the Armed Forces by Executive Order 9981. * In March 1961, President John F. Kennedy signs Executive Order 10925 prohibiting federal government contractors from discriminating because of race and establishing the President's Committee on Equal Employment Opportunity. * In June 1963, Congress passes the Equal Pay Act of 1963 (EPA) protecting men and women who perform equal work in the same establishment from sex-based wage discrimination. (Unfortunately, many different studies show that men still typically get paid higher than women in some establishments...

...of Individuals with Disability Name: Institution: Education of Individuals with Disability History of Special Education In the early 18th century, people with disability were often ignored, obscured, or put to death. First efforts to provide education for disabled students were focused on students with sensory problems such as the deaf and blind. During the 19 and early 20th century, schools that were specialized in providing education to students with disability emerged in United States and Europe. The extremely published story of Helen Keller influenced the introduction of education for disabled people in America. In 1887, Anne Sullivan who was Helen’s teacher said that he will not give up in offering education to the deaf and the blind, and she succeeded in teaching a five year old Helen how to communicate (Ashbaker, 2011, p. 25). Prior to 1965, there were no free education services provided to students with serious disabilities. These students were barred from attending school. Most of the students with severe disabilities used to put up in institutions. Many students who had mild disabilities and were not in a position to complete high school without any help did not have any other alternative other than dropping out of school. To appreciate developments that have placed disabled students in normal learning classroom, it is important to understand the legislative history that led to this move. Back in 1954, there was a civil rights case that involving Brown...

...The Americans with Disability Act (ADA) John Doe BUSI 526 October 1, 2011 The Americans with Disability Act (ADA) Introduction The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) prohibits employers with 15 employees or more from discrimination on the basis of disability. The Act applies to all aspects of employment, including applications, hiring, training, discharge and compensation, among others (Dessler 2011). In 2008 the Act was amended creating the ADA Amendments Act of 2008. The amendment clarified the definition of disability and expanded coverage to impairments that limit routine life activities. Significantly, the amendment holds that adaptive aides and conditions that are in remission or are mitigated by medical therapy have no bearing on disability determination (USAB 2011). This paper will explore the origins of the ADA, its history, some of the controversies that surround it, new thinking about organizational theory and future trends. History of the ADA The ADA can be traced to the work of Frank and Lillian Galbreth, pioneers in organizational psychology and ergonomics. During the early 20th century this husband and wife team evaluated motion studies that were first done by Fredrick Taylor (Morgan 1998). The Galbreths went beyond Taylor’s work of simply examining techniques used by high performers and established training methods based on their findings. They used the cutting edge technology of motion pictures to examine how the human...

...Can alcoholics and drug addicts really get Social Security disability benefits? Not anymore. There never were all that many people getting Social Security disability benefits on account of alcoholism or drug addiction, but Congress has now prohibited Social Security from paying disability benefits on the basis of alcoholism or drug addiction. However, alcoholics and drug addicts have heart attacks, get cancer or get sick in other ways just like everyone else. Alcoholics and drug addicts who become disabled apart from their alcoholism or drug addiction can become eligible for Social Security disability benefits. Abstract Social Security Disability Insurance (SSD or SSDI) is a payroll tax-funded, federal insurance program of the United States government. It is managed by the Social Security Administration and is designed to provide income supplements to people who are physically restricted in their ability to be employed because of a notable disability, usually a physical disability. SSD can be supplied on either a temporary or permanent basis, usually directly correlated to whether the person's disability is temporary or permanent There are many different types of disablities that are covered under SSDI. However, one area that has been under heavy debate is whether or not substance abuse should be considered a disablity and funded by SSDI. This study examined symptom severity and level of functioning in recipients of Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits...

...Question With all the state and federal laws in place –including the American’s with Disabilities Act, there are polling places still not making the proper accommodations for people with disabilities. So you might wonder now, has anything been done to ensure all polling locations are updated to fit the needs of all people with disabilities? III. History The Voting Rights Act was passed in 1965 and is a federal law which prohibits voting discrimination based on color, race, or membership in a language minority group (http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Voting+Rights+Act+of+1965). The act prohibits the states and their political parties from imposing voting qualifications or perquisites from voting that deny them the right to vote. Furthermore, 40 years later and people with disabilities are still being discriminated against around the time of elections. Some people even question if individuals with disabilities are able to vote and understand what they are voting for. Studies have shown that people with disabilities are interested in government and public affairs (http://www.accessiblesociety.org/topics/voting/index.htm). The Americans with Disabilities Act came about in 1991, and has been revised several times since. The purpose of the document is to make sure the proper accommodations are made in public facilities to provide accessibility to people with disabilities. The Act also states that individuals with disabilities were “relegated to a position of political...

...The scenario case for this is a case decision for a college student who was in an accident and is now in a wheelchair. The young man now needs handicap accessible ramp for entering one of the music buildings which he finds detrimental to his music degree. The problem that has arisen is trying to find a solution to this situation without the obstruction of an historic school building. Historic landmark building vs. handicap accessible alterations. The lesson at hand provides us with the case and scenario in which “A second-year student at State College is majoring in music and uses a wheelchair to get around. Since he has been at State College he has been unable to use the music building on campus because it has really tall steps and no ramps. He has had others carry him into the building at times to use the facilities but considers this to be a hassle and detrimental to his music studies. State College counters that due to the age (200 years) and historical architectural significance of the building it would cost over $1 million to add ramps to make the building ADA compliant.” The ADA law states that the definition of disability is defined as (A) a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities of such individual;(B) a record of such an impairment; or(C) being regarded as having such an impairment. ("U.s. equal employment," 1990) In learning from our text, any person(s) with a disability also is required to have fair accommodations...
