Other statutes prohibiting discrimination against individuals with disabilities include the Fair Housing Act, Rehabilitation Act, Air Carrier Access Act, and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. Under the Fair Housing Act, it is unlawful to discriminate in any aspect of selling, renting, or denying housing because of an individual's disability. Owners are further required to make reasonable exceptions in their housing policies so as to afford equal housing opportunities to those with disabilities. The Rehabilitation Act prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in programs conducted by Federal agencies, in programs recieving Federal financia assistance, in Federal employment, and in the employment practices of Federal contractors. Its standards mirror those of the ADA. Under the Air Carrier Access Act, air carriers are prohibited from discrimination against qualified individuals with physical and/or mental impairments.

Several of these published works have been favorably cited by courts in important opinions. The following featured books may be purchased directly from the publishers by following the links: Hollow Promises : Employment Discrimination Against People With Mental Disabilities by Susan Stefan, JD Unequal Rights : Discrimination Against People With Mental Disabilities and the Americans with Disabilities Act by Susan Stefan, JD This provocative book illustrates how the Americans with Disabilities Act has failed to alleviate discrimination against people with mental disabilities. Rich in descriptions of court cases and disability law, Susan Stefan shows how the ADA has been applied in a wide range of areas, such as employment, insurance, medical care, education, and professional licensing. Throughout, Stefan, a professor of law, intertwines moving first person accounts with a wealth of hard to find information (complaints under the ADA court settlements, opinion letters, and testimony from Congressional hearings). This book features a unique survey compiled by the author that compellingly describes how people with mental disabilities experience discrimination. Stefan discovered two groups: Those who are part of the American mainstream and who report that people often refuse to believe their struggles, and those who are publicly identified as "mentally ill" and who are considered incapable of any type of achievement. 448 Pages.

The Commission on Mental and Physical Disability Law Reporter The “Eggshell Plaintiff” Revisited: Causation of Mental Damages in Civil Litigation (click to view and download Acrobat Reader pdf version) *Mark I. Levy, MD, FAPA and Saul E. Rosenberg, PhD The legal concept of the “eggshell plaintiff,” when explaining the causation of a plaintiff’s claimed psychological injury, may be an archaic and a misleading paradigm. The “thin skull” or “eggshell plaintiff” rule—often described as the “defendant takes the victim as found”—protects the rights of individuals whose preexisting fragility makes them particularly susceptible to injury. This rule provides that when a defendant’s tortious conduct causes harm that, due to the person’s preexisting physical or mental condition, is of a greater magnitude or different type than might reasonably be expected, the defendant is liable for all harm caused by the tortious conduct. Plaintiffs must demonstrate that the defendant’s alleged conduct was the cause of, or at least

53. The Arc's Q&A On The ADA The ADA defines disability to mean a physical or mental impairment that Highlights of the requirements for each section of the law are as follows http://www.thearc.org/faqs/adaqa.html

The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 What is the purpose of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)? The ADA, signed into law July 26, 1990, bans discrimination based on disability. It gives individuals with disabilities civil rights protections like those provided to individuals on the basis of race, sex, national origin and religion. It guarantees equal opportunity for individuals with disabilities in employment, public accommodations, transportation, state and local government services and telecommunication relay services. Why is the ADA needed? The Civil Rights Act of 1964 does not cover people with disabilities. Until passage of the ADA, federal protections against discrimination based on a person's disability were scattered and very limited. Congress concluded that discrimination existed against people with disabilities, and they were sometimes denied equal, effective and meaningful opportunities to participate in society. How is disability defined by the ADA? The ADA defines disability to mean a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more of the major life activities of an individual, having a record of such an impairment, or being regarded as having such an impairment. This is the same definition included in section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Fair Housing Act Amendments and the Air Carrier Access Act. What does the ADA cover?
