La ADA en las escuelas K-12

La ADA en las escuelas K-12
La Ley de Estadounidenses con Discapacidades (ADA, por sus siglas en inglés) se aplica a las escuelas públicas (incluidas las escuelas autónomas) y las escuelas privadas desde el jardín de infantes hasta la escuela secundaria.
Las escuelas controladas religiosamente están exentas de la ADA, pero aún pueden aplicarse leyes estatales o locales contra la discriminación.
¿Qué impacta la ADA en las escuelas?
- Todas las actividades, programas y servicios educativos
- Acceso a edificios y establecimientos escolares, programas de verano y actividades extracurriculares
- Conferencias de padres y maestros, reuniones de la junta escolar, educación de adultos, eventos deportivos, obras de teatro escolares y ceremonias de graduación Share on Facebook

Quote: 'Disability only becomes a tragedy for me when society fails to provide the things we need to lead our lives-job opportunities or barrier-free buildings, for example. It is not a tragedy to me that I'm living in a wheelchair.'
