Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, which took effect July 26, 1992, prohibits private employers, state and local governments, employment agencies and labor unions from discriminating against qualified individuals with disabilities in job application procedures, hiring, firing, advancement, compensation, job training, and other terms, conditions and privileges of employment. An individual with a disability is a person who:\n\nHas a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities;\nHas a record of such an impairment; or\nIs regarded as having such an impairment.\nA qualified employee or applicant with a disability is an individual who, with or without reasonable accommodation, can perform the essential functions of the job in question. Reasonable accommodation may include, but is not limited to:\n\nMaking existing facilities used by employees readily accessible to and usable by persons with disabilities.\nJob restructuring, modifying work schedules, reassignment to a vacant position;\nAcquiring or modifying equipment or devices, adjusting modifying examinations, training materials, or policies, and providing qualified readers or interpreters.\nAn employer is required to make an accommodation to the known disability of a qualified applicant or employee if it would not impose an "undue hardship" on the operation of the employer's business. Undue hardship is defined as an action requiring significant difficulty or expense when considered in light of factors such as an employer's size, financial resources and the nature and structure of its operation.\n\nAn employer is not required to lower quality or production standards to make an accommodation, nor is an employer obligated to provide personal use items such as glasses or hearing aids.

Nothing much except you get to stay on workman's comp a little longer and they will pay your Health bills. As for the disability letter; it does no good. My husband received a letter same thing. Stayed on Work mans comp, tried to go back to work at same place and they would not allow him, claiming the had no light duty. Ended up firing him and then he was denied unemployment. What a mess. Now he owes $800.00 to the Work mans comp...we don't know why. Good Luck!

it depends on the state.  Your disability rate is based on how much you earn per week.  This is known as your average weekly wage.  Each state has a maximum and minimum weekly wage for compensation claims, Your disability is 1% of that rate.

Are you already using a program like TEACCH or PECS? Does he/she use communication cards or a communication board, sign language, or what?\n\nIs this document for the disabled person's use, or for those around him/her to understand what he/she's saying?\n\nCompiling a dictionary means you want each item to be easy to find, and clear to understand.\n\nIf you are making it for the disabled person, how does he/she categorize his/her own words and language? This sounds like a project you should do together. He/she categorizes, you compile.\n\nIf you are making it for the people around the disabled person, so that they can understand him/her, you have a choice of categorizing by type of word (noun, verb, etc.), type of concept (eating, travelling, etc.), alphabetical, or frequency of use. Given the type of communication this person is using, which is easier for people to find the information?\n\nInclude all symbols/signs used by the disabled person in the document, and include space for add-ons as his/her vocabulary develops.\n\nOn the other hand, if you are wanting to compile something in general, as a program for people to use in training disabled people, TEACCH, PECS, communication board programs, etc. already have these available. Unless you have something totally new?\n\nGood luck!

They might be ICD-9-CM diagnostic codes. You could try to figure them out using the ICD-9-CM guidelines, downloadable (free) from the CDC at http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/datawh/ftpserv/ftpicd9/ftpicd9.htm\n\nIt would be easier to call your doctor's office and ask them what it meant, then you can get any other questions you have about the diagnosis answered at the same time.

People with disabilities have, historically, been put into institutions. They were kept apart from the community and abuse was very common.This has only changed in the past 30 years. I am unsure of exact websites but here are some search words that may help:\n\nmedical model of disability\nsocial model of disability\ninstitutionalisation\nChallinor Institute\nBasil Stafford Institute\n\nCheck out your local library too - there will probably be heaps to read.

That note stating you have a disability, no matter how mild, will help.  You will still have to fill out lots of paperwork at the disability office in Quebec and give them a copy of that note.  They may even need to doctor to fill out additional paperwork.

No difference, unless he used it to manipulate others and was lazy or acted like he could not do things on his own...but that would be the same if he did not have a disability.\nsome men think women should do "women" things and men should have a job and do nothing else. meanwhile the woman cooks, cleans, etc..no one wants to be a care taker all the time to anyone.\nI would marry a man who had a disability.  I dated a man who had one arm because of polio, and a guy who was blind and would work on the computer with a voice piece and Braille, knew a man in a wheel chair, who was my age , etc...as long as he was willing to do what he could, and did things for me too sometimes, it was not an issue...after all it is 50:50.
