30 Days after 30th Anniversary of ADA
Manage episode 294864226 series 2897793
This episode of the Accessibility Is Home podcast, continues the celebration of the 30th Anniversary of the ADA (July 2020) by looking at other laws that have been passed after the original passing of the historical law. The ABLE Act is discussed in greater detail and how it can assist in saving for a home. The Supreme Court case that was passed five years after the ADA in 1990, Olmstead, is discussed as the first step of deinstitutionalizing people with disabilities and put focus that housing and community services must be provided. Without the supreme court case, accessible housing may not have ever existed. Finally, a discussion about the need to pass the Disability Integration Act as the next law that could bridge the gap by forcing insurance companies to pay fo long-term care in the home, and not a medical facility, and the need for states to increase affordable and accessible housing.
