Disability law is largely regulated by the Americans with Disabilities Act ( ADA ) of 1990. This Act prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in employment, housing, education, and access to public services.

The Americans with Disabilities Act ( ADA ) defines a disability as any of the following:
While alcoholism is included as a disability, other socially undesirable behavior is excluded from the Act. For example, sexual behavior disorders like pedophilia, or transvestite, compulsive gambling, and pyromania are all excluded. The Americans with Disabilities Act ( ADA ), however, does not list all impairments covered. The Americans with Disabilities Act ( ADA ) further requires that reasonable accommodation be made so as to provide individuals with disabilities equal opportunities. Agencies and departments charged with enforcement of the Americans with Disabilities Act ( ADA ) include the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ( EEOC ) and the Department of Justice.
States may pass disability statutes so long as they are consistent
with the
Americans with Disabilities Act ( ADA ).
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.

While this practice has been reduced, it is still occurring. If you or someone you know has been denied disability, consult with a disability lawyer to find out your legal options.
