need help with research on ADA

10-06-2005, 10:17 PM

I have an oral presentation for my American National Government class that is due fairly soon, that is supposed to be on a piece of legislation or government agency. My topic of choice was the Americans with Disabilities Act. The presentation has to cover the entire topic, and I would guess this would include history and background of it, too, not just the legislation. I figure this would be a good place to ask for resources. So can anyone provide me with some resources that would help me with my research? Thanks in advance.

Hope this helps, Cental

Use a pair of dentures in your presentation. The ADA is teeth but it's not in the right place where it should be, the mouth.

I didn't provide website info on American Dental Association...only on American with Disabilities Act.

I think Nesmuth was using that at a metaphor to describe the ADA, but not actually referring to the American Dental Association.

The ADA is teeth for disability rights, it's not in the right places where it should be, the mouth. We cant fight for disability rights when we dont have the teeth in the right places.

I agree with Richard, the ADA is all talk and sometimes no action.
They're teeth are in the wrong place, but we can fight the ADA law and get our rights, and maybe we can put they're teeth in the right place.

Can you please cite some specific examples or cases of what you mean? It would help me greatly with my research.

Even some of these articles and postings are years old it's pretty much the same now as it was when they were published.

ADA enforcement is very poor these days and it's extremely difficult to find a compassionate attorney willing to go through the immense paperwork to enforce the ADA and that option is usually reserved for the wealthy who can afford attorneys. The other option is 'time' spent waiting for the complaints to go through the dept of justice. They take years to complete and has been a discouraging factor.

Thanks for the help, Nesmuth. Hopefully I can find room in my 10 minute long presentation to use some of these resources. I have an foundation and non-existant outline I made out of ideas and information to include, and its looking fairly full. Now I just have to put in the creamy filling.
