The ADA Explained

Lovely presentation

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.

ADA applies to courtrooms too correct?

This was an incredible video. Thank you!

Thank you for this

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?

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.

You're a good artist.

You should publish and sell that poster!

I have multiple disability’s and getting help I find is very hard

Thanks for making this straight forward. If you chose to write a book about this, I would buy it! 😊

So if you have a disability that keeps you from speaking clearly at times and also traveling ( for example seizures/ epilepsy) and police refuse to take your report online or offer you an alternative is that an infringement of your rights?

Visual pictures and drawings are amazing! Great work!

This was very helpful!!!

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.

It'd be amazing if it was a printable poster. It's beautiful!

I love this!!!! thank you!!

Totally love how you fully broke it down via word and picture/visual. Btw you have very nice hand writing.

Brilliant

Outstanding……clear, concise, clean…..fire

Are all ages covered under this law?

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.

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 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?

Amazingly well-done high quality video. What pens did you use?

I keep coming back to this video when I study about relationship between digital accessibility and ADA . A greate video!

This was amazing thank you!!

Thank you so much for sharing! 👍🏾❤️

Great work, well communicated and beautifully illustrated. Thank you!

New sub. Hi. Love this one. I'm sure I'll link to it in the future!

Loved this! Thank you very much! You made it easy to understand and your penmanship is amazing!! lol

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?

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.

Would enjoy a copy of the artwork to share with clients and my readers

Fantastic short easy to digest bideo. Thank you for taking the time!

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

Very beautiful artwork my friend

Can you please provide the Transcript or Closed Captions for this video?

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.

Thanks for this video. I plan on showing it in a class im teaching today about the ADA.

An amazing resource- my sibling just shared this with me from the work they do as a social worker. Thank you so so much!

Posting a video about the ADA with no captions available is not a good look.

I would love to share this video with my deaf and hard of hearing students. Please add captions to make it accessible for them. Thanks!

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.

Thanks so much for your work in clarifying the ADA. Awesome explanation!

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.

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
