Fordham Lincoln Center's Deaf Education and American Sign Language Club

Today is the 25th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act. The act mandates that people with disabilities (of all different types) are not to be discriminated against and that they have equal opportunity to fully participate in society such as through employment, education and more. Google launched an initiative to create more access and opportunity for people with disabilities. Please take this opportunity to read about Google's actions! :) https://google.org/impactchallenge/disabilities/index.html

That’s a billion people who live in a world that’s not fully accessible Let’s work together to help change this. The Google Impact Challenge: Disabilities is a new Google.org initiative that aims to expand opportunity and independence for people with disabilities. Click here to take part.

Here's an interesting article that demonstrated how important that we become educated to interact with people with disabilities. The individuals' disabilities should not be obstacles in anything and that includes health care. http://www.npr.org/blogs/health/2014/05/17/313015089/doctors-ignorance-stands-in-the-way-of-care-for-the-disabled

Doctors' Ignorance Is A Barrier To Care For Disabled Nearly 20 percent of Americans have physical or mental disabilities, yet only a small fraction of medical schools teach students how to talk with disabled patients about their needs.
