The National Council On Disability Is Sponsoring Five Public Forums Houston Metropolitan Multi Service Center
gpo.gov, Sep 13, 2005
WASHINGTON-The National Council on Disability (NCD) is sponsoring five public forums around the country to gather testimony from people with disabilities, their families, and their advocates on the impact the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 has had on their lives. This third forum will be held on April 8, 2005, from 8:00 a.m. until5:30 p.m. at the City of Houston Metropolitan Multi-Service Center, 1475 West Gray, Houston, Texas.
Fifteen years ago, the ADA was hailed as a major civil rights law guaranteeing equal opportunity for Americans with disabilities to participate more fully in their communities, to have greater access to goods and services, and to enjoy more employment opportunities. Testimony is sought regarding the extent to which the ADA has achieved its goals of equality of opportunity, full participation, independent living, and economic self-sufficiency for people with disabilities.
