(a) Design and construction. (1) Each facility or part of a facility constructed by, on behalf of, or for the use of a public entity shall be designed and constructed in such manner that the facility or part of the facility is readily accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities, if the construction was commenced after January 26, 1992. (2) Exception for structural impracticability. (i) Full compliance with the requirements of this section is not required where a public entity can demonstrate that it is structurally impracticable to meet the requirements. Full compliance will be considered structurally impracticable only in those rare circumstances when the unique characteristics of terrain prevent the incorporation of accessibility features. (ii) If full compliance with this section would be structurally impracticable, compliance with this section is required to the extent that it is not structurally impracticable. In that case, any portion of the facility that can be made accessible shall be made accessible to the extent that it is not structurally impracticable. (iii) If providing accessibility in conformance with this section to individuals with certain disabilities (e.g., those who use wheelchairs) would be structurally impracticable, accessibility shall nonetheless be ensured to persons with other types of disabilities, (e.g., those who use crutches or who have sight, hearing, or mental impairments) in accordance with this section.

Now that curb cuts, braille elevator buttons, and closed caption television are commonplace, many people assume that disabled people are now full participants in American society. This book tells a rather different story. It tells how America's disabled mobilized to effect sweeping changes in public policy, not once but twice, and it suggests that the struggle is not yet over. The first edition of From Good Will to Civil Rights traced the changes in federal disability policy, focusing on the development and implementation of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Richard K. Scotch's extensive interviews with policymakers, leaders of the disability rights movement, and other advocates, supplemented the sketchy official history of the legislation with the detailed, behind-the-scenes story, illuminating the role of the disability rights movement in shaping Section 504. Charting the shifts in policy and activist agendas through the 1990's, this new edition surveys the effects and disappointments associated with the Americans with Disabilities Act, passed in 1990, in the context of the continuing movement to secure civil rights for disabled people.

Disability Services Providers (DSPs) have historically been the personnel tasked with implementing federal disability policy at postsecondary institutions primarily since the passage of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990. The model adopted by the majority of DSP offices is student-driven and requires students seeking academic accommodations must go through a formal process to determine eligibility for services, and then play an active role in their provision. Disability-related policies at the campus level are usually authored by DSPs who are seen as experts by the institution and its stakeholders. However, sometimes the campus policy environment and other implementation challenges can limit the ability of the DSP to effectively establish or modify policies to make them more in line with the services needed by students with disabilities attending the institution. The study was conducted to explore what factors affect the discretion exhibited among Disability Services Providers (DSPs) as they implement the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Acts (ADAAA) on their respective campuses through the policy implementation lens of Lipsky's (1980) street-level bureaucrats theory. The study utilized a convenience sample of DSPs at colleges and universities whose main responsibility was to implement the campus-based disability policies through their daily work practices and routines. The study found that Disability Services Providers (DSPs) considered 18 of the 28 AHEAD performance indicators to be critical to the implementation of the ADAAA. Although the campus policy environment may not have an effect on what DSPs consider to be critical to the implementation of federal disability policies, it can influence what services are provided by Disability Services offices. Increased demand for services was identified by DSPs as the number one implementation challenge at the campus level.

This booklet presents information helpful in implementing laws intended to extend full societal participation to individuals with disabilities. Information concerning the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act of 1990 (IDEA) addresses the law's major provisions, provisions for medically fragile children, amendments and modifications, and case law related to least restrictive environment. A discussion of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 reviews major provisions, specific titles, enforcement and remedies, and the impact on schools. Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 is also briefly described, focusing on its impact on schools. The pamphlet concludes that schools and school districts that have a commitment to inclusive education for all children will have no difficulty in complying with the requirements of these three laws.
