As all of us are aware or should be made aware of is, in order for individuals with disabilities to be successful, they must be able to accomplish and meet their educational, employment, and independent living goals. However, to ensure achieving this important goal our local and state wide government are there to help and must continue to provide various support and services.
Disabled individuals are still to this day experiencing a widespread accessibility gap, barriers, and stereotypes despite the existence of the Americans with Disabilities Act in the United States. Several articles have been written as well as televised news programs concerning a large number of disabled adults and students having these very important needs being unmet that impact their present and future sustainability. As a result, there is proven evidence in a low employment percentage for those who fall within this group. We need more than just laws and regulations to meet the disability needs throughout our nation.
