Abstract

The americans with Disability act provides the unique opportunity to enhance self-determination, choice, and greater freedom for all men, women, and children with disabilities in the United States. The most significant movement was the black civil rights movement of the 1950's and 1960's. After the civil rights movement, slowly African americans were obtaining their rights by law, and slowly getting enforcements of these newly acquired civil rights. After this movement there were still a many people who were denied their basic civil rights, largely because they were denied their status as citizens. For all intents and purposes of this research, a large group of underrepresented people who were being denied their civil rights were the disabled; the mentally retarded, the people with varying degrees of developmental disabilities and physical handicaps that prevented them from being able to voice their opinions and allowed them to be continuously oppressed by the law.
