The
Federal Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) The California Fair
Employment and Housing Authority (FEHA)
The
ADA and FEHA represent comprehensive and far reaching civil rights
agencies for the largest minority group in our country: people
with disabilities. Their ambitious goal is no less than the total
integration of persons with disabilities into every domain of
public life; employment, transportation, communication, recreational
activities and other services.
The
ADA and FEHA set out to:
Provide a clear and comprehensive mandate for the elimination
of discrimination against individuals with disabilities.
Provide clear, strong, consistent, enforceable standards addressing
discrimination against individuals with disabilities.
