They ensure that all Americans get equal employment, promotion, dismissal and trainings in places of work without referring to their nature of creation or operation of their limbs. Americans with Disabilities Act has covered government institutions, employment bureau, telecommunication, private institutions and transport sectors (Shaw, 2008, p
ADA has five categories; the first states that all businesses should provide facilities that can accommodate the disabled individuals whether they are employees or just regular customers, business plans are required to have special facilities for transporting and accommodating the disabled people while the already set up businesses are required to adjust accordingly and have special provisions for the disabled. As a part of the act, the employers are required to offer special treatments to the disabled; first, it requires the disabled to receive superior medical services, considerate salaries and wages and also give them special treatment during the recruitment processes (Meneghello, 2008, p
The employer refuses to hire the person not on the basis of inability to perform but because they are physically disabled (Shaw, 2008). Whenever an employee is terminated due to disabilities they bear great responsibilities of proving their disabilities were actually not affecting their output as employees (Hermes, 2008
Although different institutions are responding to the government demands, the situation has not been very different as the Act has some loopholes that have been used to propagate discrimination against the disabled. The government should work towards eliminating the loophole to ensure the Act is followed to latter (Lande,1998 p
The Act should be redefined to ensure it does not contain any ambiguous and unclear statements that have been used previously to discriminate against the disabled. The Act is not adaptable, it is not distinct in nature and it is costly to implement (Reynolds, 1995)
The Act should have a provision for workers compensation when they are injured and it should also demand for the retention of the employee. Although the output of the employee might drop, the company/employer should assign the right duties but should not contemplate dismissal at any cost (Sparks, 1998, p
The Act that was aimed at empowering the disabled people has been working against them, since its enactment in 1990; more than 7.2% of the disabled men have become unemployed (DeLeire, 2000, p
Dyslexia is a learning disability, and is a relatively broad term. It makes reading difficult because of the lack of learning comprehension and fluency seen by the dyslexic person (Cherry & Kruger, 1983)
That led to ways to help them learn to read more easily, so they would not fall as far behind their peers. Five to 10% of the population is believed to be affected by dyslexia, but studies have not confirmed this (Pennington, et al
, 2011). There are three subtypes of dyslexia, and which one a person falls under can also affect how that person is treated and what needs to be done to treat that person's dyslexia (Schuele, 2004)
It makes reading difficult because of the lack of learning comprehension and fluency seen by the dyslexic person (Cherry & Kruger, 1983). There are many ways in which dyslexia can manifest, including the processing speed of language, the verbal comprehension, the phonological awareness, and other factors (Willcutt & Pennington, 2010)

The media image of whom and what is constructed as an athlete must begin to change and shift and there must be a national education about the possibilities of persons who defy conventional stereotypes of what it means to be disabled. "People with disabilities have historically been excluded in the realms of sport - where they fail to meet standards of the 'ideal sporting body' - and in advertising, where they also fail to meet an ideal-body standard" (Hardin 2003)
The education must begin with our schools. It is required that schools "provide disabled students with access to opportunities in extracurricular activities including varsity, club, and intramural sports under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973" (Staurowsky 2013)
The 8th District Court's position stands, and was scheduled for Supreme Court review, but was dismissed in January of 2008 because a secret settlement was reached (Wal-Mart Worker, 2008). The conundrum for all comes from the definition of "reasonable," and whether this allows for any degree of preferential treatment (Lavin and DiMichele, 2011)
Health gaps typically reflect equality gaps. There is a terrible irony for the enormous numbers of people without access to health because poverty aggravates poor health while poor health makes it harder to get out of poverty (Shah, 2009)
The value base of disability studies In "an audit of where we are now" Oliver highlights and presents a few different concerns that have come to light. These include the idea that "disability" is a notion of domination like racial discrimination and sexism (Abberley 1987) as well as the acquisitive notion of disability (Oliver 1990); the notion of institutionalized discrimination against people who are disabled (Barnes 1991); critiquing charities and the projection of disabled people as tragic individuals (Oliver, 1990); and post-modernist theorizing (Oliver, 1990)

To take it a step further Barton (1986) summarizes the main works regarding disability and society as the progress of a social model of disability, the social building of multiple facet of disability, professional practice and theory, the Personal experiences of disabled people and research methodology and practice There is one chapter in particular in Len Barton's Disability and Society (Barton, 1986) which proves to be a useful reference point and a useful starting point for further study in the area of disability in Scotland
