Disability Policy and Special Education
The federal government plays a unique and crucial role in supporting the independence and productivity of Americans with disabilities. From the Americans with Disabilities Act - comprehensive anti-discrimination legislation enacted in 1990 - to Social Security disability payments, the federal role is complex and substantial. Policy areas that address people with disabilities include civil rights, employment, education, transportation, long-term supports, Medicaid, Medicare, income security, housing, homeland security and international affairs.
