What's Wrong with
this Picture?
In the United States, there are more than 54 million people living with disabilities. Through the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, Congress has recognized that these citizens “have been subject to a history of purposeful, unequal treatment and relegated to an inferior status in our society.” Discrimination experienced by people with disabilities extends from employment, housing, education, transportation, communication, recreation, health services, voting and access to public services. Generating awareness of these problems is the first step to improving quality of life and increase access for everyone.
