How Conflicting Beliefs Can Lead to Feeling of Empowerment Among American Deaf
Americans with Disabilities Act(ADA) was passed as a civil law in 1990 with the intent
of prohibiting discrimination against individuals who suffer such disabilities like inability to see,
diabetes, cancer, dyslexia, deaf, partial or completely missing limbs migraine headaches,
multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, orthopedic damages, paralysis, difficulties from
pregnancy, thyroid gland disorders, tuberculosis, loss of body part and mobility impairments
(Scotch, 2002 p. 213).
American Deaf community benefits from the ADA
The law offers a number of benefits to deaf people such as trouble-free access state and
local government services, places of accommodation, transportation and employment. One very
important aspect of the act is that it helps people with disabilities obtain and get the opportunity
to work as other healthy people. The acts authorize implementation of workplace standards that
permit the disabled to work like any other person in a working space. For example, the act notes
that an organization should build wheelchair ramps to entrance and exit of the building,
handicapped reachable restroom and other facilities that are tailored to fit the needs of these
people. Additionally, an employer is not allowed to ask the employee of the hearing condition
before making a job offer (ADA, 1990 p.8).

Americans with Disabilities Act has also benefited the disabled in making it a
requirement for the telecommunication companies to offer accessible telecommunication
services that ensure effective communication. The telecommunication should have auxiliary aids
and services to people who are deaf such as qualified interpreters, note takers, videotext displays,
video interpreting service, open and closed captions, and computer-aided real-time transcription
services and other methods that are effective in ensuring that oral information is delivered to
those who can’t hear (ADA,1990, p.47).
Under Title II, the law also has made it easier for people to access public services and
private places that are open to the general public. Areas such as courts, school, state parts, social
service offices and universities among other government offices. It prohibits discrimination in
programs of state and local governments, the activities must be entry accessible to all the people
even those disabled. For example, a public meeting must be held in places where people with
mobility issues can be able to reach. Sign language interpreters but be provided to ensure deaf
people also know what is being discoursed (ADA,1990, p.16).
Transportation that is operated by public entities like buses, trains must comply with the
ADA requirements to ensure accessibility to these individuals. People who cannot use public
buses or rail alternatives like paratransit services need to be there. All the bus stations must be in
with the ADA regulation to ensure that there is no discrimination of people who are abled
differently.
