Thank you so much for the feedback, I really appreciate it. And the interest in sharing my video! Do you have any suggestions on ways to do subtitles? If I simply enable them through RU-vid they are not accurate. I certainly want my videos to be accessible for all.
@@daniellability While the virus is going on sometimes people get board, there is a group for people with disabilities in second life come and check it out. virtualability.org um yea I think you need to add captioning to all your vids, I have tried reading the auto made up @#$%% it does not come up right half the time in most peoples videos. By the way you can come into SL through that Virtual Ability web page, instead of ending up in newbie central with people doing crazy crap, but you can do either way and just teleport out of there to a nicer area. Virtual Ability will teach the people how to use second life so I would really suggest you go in through them anyway, oh and leave my youtube name out of it as I keep the things separated, and my avatar has a different name.
Thanks for making this video. It would be interesting to see a series for parents of children with disabilities and ADA. Feels like there is so much I️ don’t understand about ADA that affects our daughter.
Hello! I have an ADA at my job and it seems they are now asking me personal questions 8 months plus after its been approved and enacted. Could you help me find a resource of what they can and cannot ask me legally
For someone with disabilities from England, i found this very informative and interesting. You are truly a great advocate for us all, whichever country we live in. Please take care and stay safe and well.
6:26 This is one of the many things that I would love to change about the ADA. When it comes to "Religion" it would be nice to not be denied access to something that a person should be allowed to attend? If you were applying for a job and because you were part of a certain religion you were denied employment but yet a religion has the right to exist and are protected. You have the right to believe in the religion that you want but a religion has the right to discriminate against your rights to have access because they have the right to exist. It's like that problem of you have to have a birth certificate to get an ID but you have to have an ID to get a birth certificate? This is one of the things that need to be changed about the ADA. Another thing is that when it comes to SD ALL Businesses including ALL other items on this title 3 on the exceptions area need to be so that places like churches etc had to accept your SD as long as it is behaving like a real SD is supposed to? I would make ALL Business in ALL 50 states & territories would have to take a test and prove that they "Understand" and will "Follow" All of the laws of the ADA before them and their employees are allowed to get their business licenses and if they or their employees do not pass the test by 100% No License orJob.
Hey I was wondering if there were any important figures that helped make this act come into fruition? I’m doing a research project on the act and I can’t really find anything on websites and stuff.
I'm watching this to help construct short term certification for instructors across the US. Academia's imploding, and since 30% (and supposedly more due to social judgement on what constitutes a disability), I wanted to ensure that instructors are held accountable for discrimination. Most certification and training programs are a year long process, and cost hand over foot for most if not all industries. Shortcutting this could ensure more thorough vetting, while also establishing the same quality standards when compared to DEI. This video's super helpful, and if you know of anyone who might be able to help, it'd be an honor to stay in touch. As an man with autism, it's my job to protect my fellows. I hope this ensures Judith Heumann and Brad Lomax's desire to do the same.
Thank you so much for this!! I have a writing assignment on the history of the ADA, and my ADHD medicine isn't working well today. Slogging through the actual text was proving impossible and this really helped me gain context and comprehension.
Thank you…..I need some clarification, although it seems pretty clear. Are private place’s with a non profit status, example a private place that provides sp need services, which markets itself as a sp needs place/fully handicap accessible, is allowed to discriminate against those with physical disabilities?
Thanks for making this video upon history of ADA. Case example of ADA discrimination within our society remains issue today despite law that Congress passed into law. As disabled veteran whom uses wheelchair good thing common sense always prevails within government when in case government chooses to non-comply with laws of our land here case example trying gain simple access to public courthouse order file legal motions per Ocala, FL federal courthouse back in 2022 a federal building that was constructed in 1981 after the 1969 Architectural Barriers Act law where buildings must be accessible when access problem was made aware both Clerk of Court and Judge and in overseeing legal case Judge Lammens cited "no legal merit" on disability access being apart on case here government acted above law discriminating and failing to address issue if this was not case why then since 2022 years later has government still to this day never address access issue. Negligence of VA cost myself my leg May 2020 had received death threat attending Hanger Clinic appointment in Gainesville, FL sought emergency motion for protection said protection was denied. Had foregoing justice willfully and knowingly despite public law Court would not comply adhere with ADA accessibility law. Foregoing had zero justice zero compensation from VA's negligence causing harm then add insult injury was discriminated against. End day here adding insult to injury had hop on one leg over several curbs order use wheelchair with assistance from my caregiver as are an amputee order file legal motions on the legal case to this day years foregoing nothing was ever done with access issue so reached out with Congresswoman Kat Cammack 1/13/2024. Formally requesting Congress follow up with Judiciary upon the Ocala courthouse, and local government on the access issue per Marion County Building Safety Department requested back formal letter what will be done on ADA access compliance so others do not have go through experience that I had. One would think given public law and access for purpose of public purpose that government on this case would had long ago brought up to standard of law accessibility. Lets see how long it takes for government to comply with law and bring up to standard the curbs changed slope accessible ramps at Ocala, FL legal complex area of Courts.
My manager punishes me for doing actions from my mental illness. I'm 95% sure it violates this act except we are a company of under 15 employees. So is this still a crime agasint me? Or just a real dick move
I have a mental health disability and receive some income from Social Security. I have a B.A. from the University of Tennessee and would like to return to school to obtain either a Master’s or a PhD. Do you offer any help with student aid I wouldn’t be obliged to pay back or do you know of agencies that do. I am not interested in loans and grants only work for Bachelor’s Degrees. I think a scholarship would be my best option but I don’t know where to look or what to look for. Are there scholarships available for people with a mental disability? I reached out to the University I attended but never heard back from them. I looked online but everything was either for the deaf or blind or people with physical disabilities. Who can I reach out to about these issues? Thank you.
I can’t get to my apartment without having to through cars and having to pull my cart over parking barriers. I can’t have furniture delivered because there is no way to get through to my apt.
Do you happen to know if the balance test that compares the cost of the renovation and the size of the business comes from the ADA itself or from case law?
I’m looking for a lawyer to help me with almost every one of these violations to me as a blind man. Please respond if there’s any legal help out there, because I can’t find any help
Why aren’t mentally disabled who are non attorneys as they can hold no job whatsoever denied proper legal help?? Judges break law deliberately breaking due process and constitutional rights to hear grievances in court.
I have diabetes and today I wasn’t preforming at my best because my blood sugar was dangerously high and another worker got violent and snapped on me cause I couldn’t hear what they said and they stepped up and got in my face and all I said you don’t even know wtf is going on with me I went in having felt like this before but now I’m out of a job anyways and I told my boss this was due to my diabetic complications and they told me they don’t care does this violate Ada laws?

Wow Danielle I'm a little jealous of your writing I know the video was sped up little and don't know how long it took you but that would have taken me a few hours I also have Spina Bifida and have writing like a child that's still learning to write to make it a least a little readable i would have to concentrate and not get distracted and I'm almost 25 and I'm still learning to write as neat as i can but sometimes its not the best you know its bad when i can't even read my own writing
I have a question. We've been living at this duplex for 7yrs estimate. My mom is disabled and come to the point where she needs a handicap bathroom. I spoke to the landlord and he doesn't want to make modifications nor does he want to sell it. What actions can i take under the ADA? Would it law for him to do it?
Thanks for the video, Danielle! I would be happy to help out with the closed captioning of this video if you could email me a copy of or link to the file ~or~ we could do it together if you want to get on a quick video call and I could help walk you through it? I've done it several times for my work. It can be tedious to get it accurate but worth the effort to make accessible I think. Thanks again for the great content & for considering my offer! Katie
I am working on an online class on college success for students with disabilities. Is it ok that I include your video in my class? I will of course cite your video source. This is so good. I’m working on creating videos for my class. I’m hesitant to show my self on the video. You inspire me. If you would be interested I could send you info on the class or a video if you would be interested. Sue Smith author The cruise to college success.
This is a fantastic presentation! I am using this in a High School lesson about the ADA, and having students break down each Title of ADA using a mind map. Thank you for the great resource!
I appreciate this. I am researching to give a briefing on a State program that hires persons with disabilities and this was extremely helpful as a first step.
Thank you so much for your videos and channel. I am not disabled, but I have spent many years writing a novel including a para character. Thus, I've spent months from time to time researching this character's physical and emotional reality. I would love to tell you about it and ask some questions, but I do not wish to clog your channel with something that may not interest you. Would you like to help shape a para character in a novel? Thank you so much for your videos, channel and sharing.
Thank you so much for the feedback, I really appreciate it. Do you have any suggestions on ways to do subtitles? If I simply enable them through RU-vid they are not accurate. I certainly want my videos to be accessible for all.
@@daniellability You can edit the captions after you upload the video. It's super easy! I found it easily when uploading my videos. I'd love to share your video because it's so great, but have to have the captions for the sake of equity for my students.
