Q1) Compare and contrast two major laws that affect individuals with disabilities: IDEA and ADA. In doing so, describe the unique contribution of each and briefly discuss the ways in which the two laws are similar.
Answer: The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act ensures that all children and youths with disabilities have the right to a free, appropriate public education. The Americans with Disabilities Act ensures the right of individuals with disabilities to nondiscriminatory treatment in other aspects of their lives (employment, transportation, public accommodations, state and local government, and telecommunications). Both require reasonable accommodations that will allow those with disabilities to participate to the fullest extent possible in all activities of daily living that those without disabilities take for granted. Both were considered to be revolutionary laws-one for education and the other for business.
