Students with disabilities have more academic options than they may realize. Laws like the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1996, and a better understanding of health care, have created opportunities for people with disabilities to overcome their shortcomings, master skills in the classroom and translate those skills to the real world.

The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1996 opened doors for all disabled persons. Zoning and building guidelines were established. Employers are now required to accommodate employees with disabilities, as long as the accommodations don’t put undue hardship on the employer. Ramps, wider doorways, and electrical door openers are just some of the changes that the law has brought about.

Thanks to these changes, and other changes in the education system, students with disabilities have access to all of the same educational benefits that fully able bodied students do.
