EEOC Open for Comments on ADA Amendments Regulations

Press Release from the EEOC (9/16/09):

COMMISSION APPROVES PROPOSED ADA REGULATIONS FOR PUBLIC COMMENT
New Regulations Conform to Changes Made by ADA Amendments Act of 2008

WASHINGTON – The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) today approved a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) revising its regulations to provide that an individual seeking protection under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) establish that he or she has a disability consistent with the original, expansive intent of Congress when it enacted the ADA in 1990.  The NPRM, approved by 2-1 vote, carries a 60-day period for public comment.

The NPRM makes several significant changes to the definition of the term “disability” necessitated by enactment of the ADA Amendments Act of 2008.  The NPRM is posted on the Commission’s website, www.eeoc.gov, along with a question-and-answer guide about the proposal and instructions for submitting public comments.

“Today’s Commission action marks a key step in implementing the landmark Amendments Act, which will smooth the road for those trying to establish disability under the ADA,” said Acting EEOC Chairman Stuart J. Ishimaru.  “The Commission acted following careful and thorough deliberations, and we look forward to reviewing any and all public comments before issuing our final regulation.”

Acting EEOC Vice Chair Christine M. Griffin said, “Congress recognized that the intent of the ADA was being misread, that its goals were being compromised, and that action had to be taken.  These regulations will shift the focus of the courts away from further narrowing the definition of disability, and put it back where Congress intended when the ADA was enacted in 1990.”

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), an antidiscrimination statute, was signed into law in July 1990. The EEOC is responsible for enforcing Title I of the ADA, which prohibits employment discrimination against individuals with disabilities. The statute requires employers to make reasonable accommodations to employees and job applicants with disabilities—defined as people with mental or physical impairments that substantially limit a major life activity, persons with a record of a disability, or who, while not actually disabled, are regarded as disabled. 

The ADA Amendments Act, which went into effect Jan. 1, 2009, states that Congress expects the EEOC to revise its regulations to conform to changes made by the Act, and expressly authorizes the EEOC to do so.  The new law rejected the holdings in several Supreme Court decisions and portions of EEOC’s ADA regulations that Congress believed construed the definition of “disability” too narrowly, preventing individuals with impairments such as cancer, diabetes, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, post-traumatic stress disorder, and bipolar disorder from bringing discrimination claims.   The ADA Amendments Act (ADAAA) and the proposed rule make it easier for an individual alleging employment discrimination based on disability to establish that he or she meets the ADA’s definition of “disability.” The ADA Amendments Act also modifies the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which prohibits employment discrimination in the federal workforce on the basis of disability.

The EEOC voted June 17 to adopt the rules changes, which then went to the Office of Management and Budget for review, and to federal agencies.

Consistent with the ADAAA, the NPRM emphasizes that the definition of disability -- an impairment that poses a substantial limitation in a major life activity -- must be construed in favor of broad coverage of individuals to the maximum extent permitted by the terms of the ADA, and should not require extensive analysis; that major life activities include “major bodily functions”; that mitigating measures, such as medications and devices that people use to reduce or eliminate the effects of an impairment, are not to be considered when determining whether someone has a disability; and that impairments that are episodic or in remission, such as epilepsy, cancer, and many kinds of psychiatric impairments, are disabilities if they would “substantially limit” major life activities when active.  The regulation also provides a more straightforward way of demonstrating a substantial limitation in the major life activity of working, and implements the ADAAA’s new standard for determining whether someone is “regarded as” as having a disability.  

The 60-day public comment period on the proposed rule-making will officially commence upon publication of the NPRM in the Federal Register, which is expected to be published the week of September 21, 2009.  The EEOC encourages the public to offer its views and suggestions.

The EEOC is responsible for enforcing federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

School officials stripped, locked up 9 year old

From the Columbia Daily Herald (9/24/09):

Mom: School officials stripped, locked up son
By CHRIS GRAHAM

A Maury County judge has issued an emergency injunction against educators at Joseph Brown Elementary School after a developmentally disabled student was allegedly stripped down to his underwear and locked in a seclusion room.

“I don’t want this ever to happen to another child,” said Spring Hill resident Michelle Parks, mother of the 9-year-old boy. “My child’s rights have been stripped from him.”

Parks alleges she was called to the school Tuesday to pick up her son after he had acted out in his special education class taught by Tasha Walker.

After the mother got to the school, Parks said she was led to a door with a small window. When the door was opened she saw her son standing and crying in the middle of the room wearing only his underwear...

Freeing the Disabled

From the New York Times (9/26/09):

Freeing the Disabled
by Barbara L. Kornblau

To the Editor:

Re “Helping Aged Leave Nursing Homes for a Home” (news article, Sept. 19):

Older adults are not the only ones who suffer the jail-like indignities of confinement to nursing homes. The real tragedy is people with disabilities in their 20s, 30s, 40s or 50s who are condemned to spend the rest of their lives in nursing homes because of spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, cerebral palsy and other disabilities that interfere with independent self-care.

Your article describes some of the many benefits of community living, including, above all, freedom. But Medicaid’s institutional bias denies these younger adults the right to live and work in the community — and denies them their freedom.

Health care reform could end this oppression and allow people with disabilities and older adults to choose where they want to live. Policy makers could end the institutional bias by including the Community Choice Act in health care reform, thus throwing open the nursing home doors to freedom and community living for all to choose.

The writer is dean of the School of Health Professions and Studies, University of Michigan-Flint, and health reform policy coordinator for the American Association of People With Disabilities.

Health Care Action Alert

From NCIL (9/28/09):

Take Action:
If you are able to be in Washington D.C. on Wednesday: If there is any way you can make it to Washington this Wednesday, now is the time to make our voices heard and ensure that these priorities remain in the final legislation. On Wednesday, at 1:00 p.m. at the Dirksen Senate Office Building, Room SD 430, there will be a briefing to talk about these two priorities and their importance to people with disabilities! Following the briefing, all attendees will be encouraged to take one page handouts to their U.S. Senators. Having a physical presence on Capitol Hill will show how important these priorities are to people with disabilities!

If you cannot be in Washington D.C. on Wednesday: This is a short turnaround time to bring a large physical presence to the Capitol, but we still need everyone who wants to see the Community First Choice Option and the CLASS Act in the Senate healthcare reform legislation to call in to a hotline on Wednesday to share the message. That number will be provided before Wednesday and sent out in another alert. If there was ever a time to advocate for these priorities, NOW is the time! If you cannot call in on Wednesday, anytime this week is a great time!

The Message for Senators: I strongly support the Community First Choice Option and the CLASS Act as a part of the final healthcare bill in the Senate. I urge the Senator to please support both of these priorities for people with disabilities as the Senate Finance and HELP Committees merge their bills.

Community NOW!

The U.S. Senate is going to begin the process of merging its two versions of healthcare legislation as soon as later this week. The bill passed by the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee contains the CLASS Act. The bill currently being marked-up in the Senate Finance Committee contains the Community First Choice Option. We must all take part in a National Day of Action to ensure that these two priorities remain in the final Senate bill.

This Wednesday, September 30th, advocates from all over the nation must make their voices heard by all 100 U.S. Senators, so it is clear that healthcare reform must include the Community First Choice Option and the CLASS Act. There will be a briefing on Capitol Hill on Wednesday.
Additionally, there will be a national call-in number for those who cannot be in Washington, D.C.

More Information about the Community First Choice Option ( http://www.ncil.org/news/CommunityFirstChoiceOption.html ).

For more information on the CLASS Act, see the Healthcare section of the NCIL Policy Priorities Booklet ( http://www.ncil.org/news/policyprioritiesjune2009.txt ).

If you have additional questions about the priorities, the Community Now!

Higher Education's Studied Indifference to People with Disabilities Reflects the "Rehab Model" Ad Nauseum

From Planet of the Blind (7/19/09):

Higher Education's Studied Indifference to People with Disabilities Reflects the "Rehab Model" Ad Nauseum
By Stephen A. Kuusisto

There's a great article over at Getting Hired dot Com about the lawsuit that's been filed against Arizona State University by several blindness advocacy groups. The issue has to to with ASU's decision to provide its students with the Kindle Reader as a means of accessing textbooks--and yes, the Kindle is still inaccessible to blind people. I'll leave aside for the time being the relative technical issues involved in making the Kindle accessible for the talking points are tedious. Trust me, the Kindle can be made to talk without difficulty save for the fact that it needs a more expensive "out of the box" operating system.

ASU adopted the Kindle because it seemed easy. It seemed like a good thing. My general point (such as it is) is that higher education administrators tend to imagine that "someone else" will "take care" of "those people" who have disabilities. American higher education still imagines that the Victorian approach to disability is acceptable--that the disabled are taken care of by people who will read to them in the dark or laboriously turn their books into tape recordings or Braille.

This "rehab" model of Disability is of course the very thing that disability studies has dissected and about which we know a good deal. We know for instance that college administrators who imagine that accessibility is merely an inconvenience and that they can pass along the issue to others are ignoring the ADA and many state laws. But they do so with the built in assurance that the rehab model is acceptable. Someone else will retrofit inaccessible learning environments or physical facilities and assure accessibility for the blind or the wheelchair users or the deaf or what have you. Those "rehab people" will take care of that.

Here at my own university there's a Victorian rehab assumption in place wherein the administration routinely fails to make restrooms accessible for people with disabilities and they claim any variety of things depending on who you talk to. One fellow tells me that the ADA doesn't apply to the University of Iowa. Another tells me that they don't have any money. A third tells me that the university's philosophy is that "we've let you in, what more do you want?" Set against this is the old fashioned rehab model--the administrators I've talked to at the U of Iowa believe that disability accommodations are someone else's issue. So of course nothing gets done. How embarrassing it is that the University of Iowa, the leading public institution in the state that is proudly represented by Senator Tom Harkin, co-author of the Americans with Disabilities Act is indifferent to making its major academic buildings accessible.

The lawsuit against Arizona State reflects the indifference of ASU's administrators to the contemporary reality that students and staff with disabilities are no longer secondary citizens who can be told to "wait" for access. And yet the indifference of the ASU administrators is widely reflected across the U.S.. I see the same forces at work in my own back yard.

PBS to Air Film on Disability Advocates

Disabilities Awareness Highlighted this Fall on PBS with Premiere of Body & Soul: Diana & Kathy

The film BODY & SOUL: DIANA & KATHY chronicles the life of two of the country’s most remarkable advocates for people with disabilities. Diana Braun, who has Down syndrome, and Kathy Conour, who has cerebral palsy, met three decades ago and vowed to fight to live independent lives. Fearful of being shut away in a nursing home or forced into a state-run institution, Diana and Kathy broke the rules, escaped the system, and modeled a grand experiment in independent living.

>>> For Air Dates

As a result of their efforts today Diana and Kathy are well-known as a tireless and dynamic pair of lobbyists and activists in the disability movement.  Although Kathy is non-verbal, through the help of a mouth stick and the Pathfinder assistive communication device, she writes articles for national magazines and has a lively email correspondence with leaders in the disability rights movement.  Kathy also serves on boards, and continues to lobby effectively for disability rights--Kathy was once even arrested, power chair and all. Diana drives, cooks, shops, takes care of scheduling doctor’s appointments and has been Kathy’s personal assistant and friend for more than 35 years. 

The film chronicles a journey from their home in Springfield, IL to Washington, D.C. The trip is physically dangerous and technically illegal—Medicare rules require them to be homebound. History has shown, however the benefits of breaking rules can sometimes outweigh the risks. Although they comprise the largest minority in the United States, people with disabilities are routinely denied equal access and rights. BODY & SOUL: DIANA & KATHY exemplifies the abilities of people with disabilities and helps us understand an important and complex social issue.

The film almost didn’t happen, however. When Diana Braun and Kathy Conour approached Alice Elliott, and asked her to make a film about them, Alice was reluctant. She had just spent five years making her previous film, the Academy Award®  nominated short documentary The Collector of Bedford Street, and wasn’t ready to plunge into another project.

It had been Kathy’s life long dream to have a documentary made about her, so she wouldn’t give up. After visiting Diana and Kathy in Springfield, Illinois, Alice realized what unique subjects they would be and was won over by Kathy’s persistence. For five years, Diana and Kathy gave Alice complete access to their lives. During that time, they filmed in Washington, D.C., as well as Chicago and Springfield. Told in an intimate, vérité style, BODY & SOUL: DIANA & KATHY brings audiences into a private world and sweeps us into a way of life rarely seen on screen and seldom understood.

The film has received a number of awards and recognitions, including a nomination from the International Documentary Association for the Distinguished Short Documentary Award and the TASH Positive Images in Media Award (shared with Including Samuel). The film was produced, directed, and filmed by Alice Elliott (The Collector of Bedford Street) and edited by Rose Rosenblatt (The Education of Shelby Knox, Live Free or Die), original music by Rick Baitz. BODY & SOUL: DIANA & KATHY is a co-production of Alice Elliott and the Independent Television Service (ITVS), with funding provided by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

BODY & SOUL: DIANA & KATHY, will have its television premiere this fall on PBS in as part of the network’s National Disabilities Awareness programming (check local listings).

OH and OR: Autistic Self-Advocacy Takes Action

See below an excellent example of local groups coming together to make change. If you have news stories about what your group or your community has done, send them to jfa@aapd.com

From ASAN, SW Ohio (9/22/09):

Self Advocacy at Ohio State University
By Melanie Yergeau, ASAN-OSU Chapter Director

On the afternoon of Monday, September 21st, the Ohio State chapter of the Autistic Self-Advocacy Network (ASAN) worked a table at the student involvement fair, a community event that boasted over 500 student and community organizations. The members of ASAN-OSU distributed informational handouts during the event, including a flyer entitled "Why Autism Speaks Does Not Speak for Us," authored by Meg Evans of ASAN-Southwest Ohio. Members also solicited signatures for a petition against the upcoming Columbus Walk for Autism Speaks and OSU President E. Gordon Gee's continued support of the walk. In keeping with themes of self-advocacy and protest, on display at the ASAN table was a poster with prominent slogans such as nothing about us without us; we're people, not puzzles; and autistic people can speak for themselves. ASAN-OSU also distributed candy in ziploc bags with ASAN labels attached.

At the event, ASAN-OSU distributed approximately 450 flyers to community members, students, faculty, and staff...

ASAN Protests Autism Speaks Fundraiser in Portland
Transcript for KBOO-FM Interview w/ Phoebe Loomis

Announcer: The group Autism Speaks held a march this weekend in Portland and raised over $50,000, which they say will go to research on autism.

But some people with autism and parents of kids with autism protested the march, saying that it does not represent them. KBOO's Jenka Soderberg spoke with Phoebe Loomis, one of the protest organizers and a member of the Autistic Self Advocacy Network.

Soderberg: Can you tell us about the protest, and why you decided it was important to come out this weekend?

Loomis: There's been a long pattern of Autism Speaks excluding and exploiting autistics in the name of helping us. They always have dehumanizing sort of ad campaigns that portray us as being diseased, or kind of describe having your child diagnosed as autistic as being equivalent to a car wreck or other things that are much farther tragic.

They had a recent ad campaign that was the most bothersome and one of the things that got us feeling we really needed to get out there. It was labeled "I Am Autism," and it had this pretty haunting voiceover describing all of the horrors of autism...

AFL-CIO Endorses Increasing Inclusion and Visibility of People with Disabilities

I AM PWD CAMPAIGN ENDORSED BY AFL-CIO CONVENTION 
AFL-CIO Convention Delegates Pass Resolution 18 Endorsing the 
I AM PWD Campaign of AEA, AFTRA and SAG

Pittsburgh (September 16, 2009) – I AM PWD — the Inclusion in the Arts and Media for People with Disabilities campaign of Actors’ Equity Association, American Federation of Television and Radio Artists and Screen Actors Guild — was today endorsed by the 2009 AFL-CIO Convention delegates through Convention Resolution 18, entitled “Unions Should Give People with Disabilities a Voice and a Face.”

“It’s the dawn of a new day for workers with disabilities,” said I AM PWD national chair and SAG/AFTRA/AEA member Robert David Hall, who appeared before the more than 700 convention delegates to urge the passage of Resolution 18. “We are overjoyed that our I AM PWD campaign has been endorsed by the AFL-CIO Convention delegates, but even more meaningful is this loud show of support and solidarity from our brothers and sisters in the national labor movement.”

AFL-CIO Executive Vice President Arlene Holt-Baker said, “The AFL-CIO is proud of our progress toward diversity in our leadership, especially when it comes to race, gender and sexual orientation, but the fact is that workers with disabilities are not yet fully included in the life, work and leadership of our labor movement.  We took action today to begin to change that, and to work toward full equality for people with disabilities in American life.” AFL-CIO Convention Resolution 18 pledges, “The AFL-CIO and its affiliated unions endorse and support the I AM PWD campaign and invite SAG, AFTRA and Equity to share its lessons.”

Beyond its endorsement of the I AM PWD campaign, Resolution 18 also declares the AFL-CIO’s intention to “make itself a model by including people with disabilities in all discussions addressing diversity and by encouraging the labor movement at all levels to do the same.”

Comments by JFAAN Employment Workgroup Chair, Tari Hartman Squire (9/23/09):

Last week’s 2009 AFL-CIO convention delegates adopted Resolution 18: “Unions Should Give People with Disabilities a Voice and a Face.” 

This is a real policy breakthrough: Beyond its endorsement of the I AM PWD campaign, Resolution 18 also declares the AFL-CIO’s intention to “make itself a model by including people with disabilities in all discussions addressing diversity and by encouraging the labor movement at all levels to do the same.”
SAG was the first union in 1980 to add disability to the Affirmative Action and Non-Discrimination Clause of the 1980 Collective Bargaining Agreement with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) in an effort to "more accurately portray the American scene." 

That was 10 years BEFORE the ADA.  Yet, a 2005 survey by SAG/UCLA Targan Center, 15 years AFTER the ADA revealed a dismal 2% of television portrayals included people with disabilities and less than .05% (less than one half of one percent) had speaking (or signing) roles.

As we know, in our four screen world (handheld, computer, TV and movie theatre) media images of people with disabilities has power to shatter myths and reinforce stereotypes.  Entertainment is the one industry sector that exports images and attitudes - worldwide.  Deep thanks to Robert David Hall, Ray Bradford, Adam Moore and the tireless efforts of many who brought this Resolution and I AM PWD to fruition, and in awakening brothers and sisters in the Labor Movement - Bravo!
