well and I can do. I can do just about the reason anybody else can do anything.
He's not gone. No, I don't know. I can do just about the reason anybody else can do anything. It's not gone. No, it's not. It's not, it's not. You're just, it's not. And, yes. Yes. Who else do that? Hi. I was like, right over there. I have a little body. I'm just like that before I have the camera. See it walked over. It popped over. It just very intuitive.
She used to go with me. Maybe I don't have any body. Maybe I don't have a big delivery of this stuff. It was real helpful. It was kind of a good shooting. It was like a Cinderella page. It was really miss bulging. I think it was all over category. But I'm not before we've had it. I have to see it in the tour. I saw a hospital. I saw a hospital. I saw a hospital. And I was already here. And I'm moving to college five years old. And I saw my mom. And I did. And I did. And the doctor's not going to die. And I did live. I'm still living. Now it's five years old. And now I'm already 12. She's had a regulation. And that's less of a lot of side effects. And operation. She doesn't see all the right sides of both eyes. And she doesn't hear all the right hear. She has some hearing loss and all that fear. And there is some damage to the brain hairs from the radiation.
And some balance problems. And then she does that with seizures on the mom. And then she's in middle school sixth grade. And it's a beautiful teenager. And she says for a second. And she says, I have to leave. I have to leave. I have to leave. I have to leave. I have to leave. I have to leave. I have to leave. I have to leave. I have to leave. I have to go and drop off of the now. The really nice problem. So intelligent in her own way is that I just don't see that. You can say that she won't go any further in this. You can just get keep working. I just feel like there's no real problems. She doesn't ever know. Something's going to play. And then she can take off and learn her. And I just find a different way to do it. It's a nine generation of people in the generation of people. Two is the way. She was the community to change. There's some businesses who don't need to change this.
You can't just pretend that this is something that I've been successful. We want to show her how to score. Then it should be able to access the number of families. But it's difficult to be able to give it to a nine generation. Some of them don't need to be successful. But it's an it's an it's an it's an it's an it's an it's an it's an it's an it's an it's an it's an it's an it's a to make sure you meet the society and it's more accessible than if you need to be able to be able to be able to be able to be accepting. The American is more sophisticated than the American assigned in the launch of 1996, and it's as well qualified, more than before, but with the discipline, we shall be discriminated with certainly on basis of their disability. It's estimated that in 43 million people, physical and mental disabilities are protected by the ADA. On July 26, 1992, this law became effective for employers of 25 and more employees.
As of July 1995, employers with 15 or more employees will have to obey this law, which covers a variety of issues. The American's disability center is broken into five titles, and on the end of the line, in terms of 15 or more, they will be required to provide equal opportunity to provide individuals with disabilities, that is with the more modern accommodation. As part of the two, as part of our services, in regards to the local state government, and the legal and mental assault division to provide program access to all of their services and activities, down three public accommodations, creates equal opportunity for persons with disabilities, and require a longer experience. It is accessible to all individuals and disabilities as well as policies and services, and at 43 million people in all different races and cities.
To have four telecommunications, creates a message, really, for those individuals who use text to all of them, so they can be used to be hearing couples. And they also create some of them as well as they follow them as they cover them, so in theory, if there are other individuals who will be able to access the most captioning program, that applies to the disability's provisions, requires the United States Congress to comply with this law, with as well as sense of penalties and procedures of the other titles of this act. It's important to look at the human behavior regulation, and look at the use of spirit. It's called the Civil Rights Law, that four people need to be informed of. And it's not an easy decision to make your assistance, but it's just not the human behavior, and you create a longer population of them. But there are some who found success before the ADA, Tom Jones, found the names,
you know, while he's an accessibility point, while he was the EPA, an officer of high school football games for corporate and high school, and they both was about to keep the strength of a letter, next to the football team. And so my hand took a two-by-four and wanted it to adopt a new link for a key in the two-by-four input. The point, by the end of the program, I chair and two or three very strong people on the other hand, and they both voted until I got to be able to move thinking and think about it for a round and there are some of the human rights that I'm doing here. Despite the barriers Tom faced, he attended the University of Illinois receiving the Masters in Communications, member of the UCI-UTV, and he attended the University of Illinois receiving the Masters in Communications, and then a member of UCI-UTV and he said, the key is to think that we're putting people in our chairs on a candidate to gain something.
That is my microphone. I'm sure that's something I can do for a good meeting. And I have a few sets. And I have a few sets on the other hand, and I have a few sets on the other hand. I have a few sets on the other hand. I have to use this chair. Based on where we started in 1967, we're ready to fulfill the viewers to be somehow offended if they put somebody in their chair on the table. If you think about the progress that was made in those intervening years, we're in the individual mouth and behind here, being in a wheelchair. And being able to be a wheelchair and we see people such an integral part of the community, thank you to Tom Manish, and an accessibility model without the ADA. And he says the government shouldn't hand everything to people just because of their disability.
Even though the role might provide more opportunities, Tom says it doesn't solve the major problem. And the role is being made in this community because they just seem to not go out on the ADA. And I have a few sets on the other hand. And I have a few sets on the other hand. And I have a few sets on the other hand. And I have a few sets on the other hand. And I'm going to try to understand what role we can do for today. And what you can do is not just select the amount of material that people are looking at. And about 10, 30, Friday night, we have just gone upstairs to make it in the full area, and we get the gradient from the bottom. And I've dropped off the other end and spared no words. See, that is all right. I'll set that in the picture. And I'll paste it in with everyone. I think that's all I need. If you can use a video that you can do that, if you have a video that I can do it with, that have My internal settings to adapt to the disability.
And at your time it is their significant Uh-oh computer technology. And your work, but not really. Elevens and you could buy your journal through to, by the way, figure something something disability and control it. control. It's not a focus on life's job and disability control in my life. I believe no more including the ADA can replace what experience can teach you. Where I continue to learn through his own successes and failures. Going to occur, you know, 10 miles an hour as fast as I can go. Going back up and life's running and open, getting this one in, it's all out of the concrete and then trying to get back up in the chair. Going down stairs, forwards, and talking a little bit about where it's going. First, backwards, going to physical errors, backwards, and stuff like that. So you can just try on errors, like anything else in your body, give you experience. I know I noticed the first time I saw this smile, first thing I noticed.
When I first did it, I was a little nervous and wondering, well, it would be like to go with some other chairs, because we had really nothing to get that time. So there's a little nervous as to, I'm going to drive, how to get out of the car, how to get out of the car, and all the little basic everyday things, getting up to steps, if there's a step in the restaurant, you know, it would be the inner order. Well, he's definitely taught me that it really doesn't matter. There are times when I don't even realize that there isn't a disability. In fact, the majority of the time I forget it's even there. What I have says the law forces some people to focus on the disability, not the ability. He believes the ADA gives false sense of hope. It imposes the idea that we are going to give you, to say to Americans, something that will better your life, something that will allow you to be successful in our world. But in a long run, it's different.
I haven't seen anything. I don't know of anything that the American Smoothie Act has done. They can't become a smoothie act. Yes, people don't advocate. Those people don't educate. These people don't make anything any more to them. It won't be nothing but a smoothie act. On the back, on the side, they're coming in. They don't want that a wonderful day, but nothing's got the number six. And when you hear people say, I don't see what the ADA is doing. One of the most visible changes is accessibility to buildings. Under the ADA, all physical barriers, the existing whole in places must be removed. The reasonable accommodations made after 1996, all the buildings must also be accessible either in structure, or in providing reasonable accommodations. But reasonableness has different meanings to them.
So, in my life, should I have to go all the way around in the back of the building. To get into it, to enter it, just because I'm in the wheelchair. Even though it is accessible in the back, it takes me 15 minutes to push myself all the way in the back. Why can't it just be an equal access in this front? If you look at the stable equipment, there are so many different possibilities. In order to introduce all of these things to 100%, that is going to cost a lot of money. And I'm not even sure if it's possible. But the possibilities can benefit the employer, as well as people with disabilities. If businesses make your environment a more accessible, they will put up their doors to new customers. And we have to decide environment. And in order to accessible, they will be able to look at function in it. But also, if a specific disability doesn't produce a more specific disability that goes in,
and they know more than was offered in the building, we can adapt it. And if this is a man, come look at it from the standpoint that this is something that is something that is one of that more people to come into my business. And they start to see it as a market. That's when the start to change. This is the purpose of the business. And we take care of it. And so, as best we're taking care of it, we can only run up a day before, and get everything you need for it. And when we're ready, we can make sure, hopefully, it was at least a period of the purpose of the stairs. If we're going to be clear, we don't want to reform, we just want to be able to do it for it. We're going to try and help them out and realize that they're taking care of it. We can see it at some point. Even when we pass through some stairs, we really think that you need to be done. Because of some reality. Because of some reality. Because of some reality. And if it's not there, you can do it. It costs money, but I find it as fast as it is. And we're going to go back 50 years of the end.
We're going to look at the treatment of people we've got. And the business is the end. We're going to be able to put some measures. Okay. We'll talk about that. We'll talk about that. We'll talk about that. We'll talk about that. We'll talk about that. And now that we're playing, we'll talk about making the tools that they have accessible. They used to be included in the forest and want those people and their ambassadors. We are all over 43 million Americans with disabilities. They are a role in seagment of the population because this is a cannot for too many. By the year 2010, in America, all population will have aged 2.0 and then all of a lot of person will be requiring disabilities, 2, 3, 2, 4, 10, or within the passage of the beginning. And in the beginning, we're going to have to try to change our community environment and care services and programs. And it says it will be if you have a more user friendly. As we speak about accessibility too, we have to realize this has been off affected by the parts of the population,
to benefit from the activity. We talked about the aging population and perhaps it's not as difficult as possible. We've not talked about those who have their temporary disabilities too, but folks who this year have fled to the slopes, to parents, children who perhaps should think they need care services. And we have to do it again. We're constantly having our opportunities every year. These changes don't come without a cost, but the ADA also protects businesses, changes that it creates and undo financial burden don't have to be made. And the government has provided ways to lessen the burden if there's a new world benefit to society. And I think government has defined some ways to be supportive of that point in the business especially small businesses and such an economic disadvantage that they can't compete successfully. If there are currently right up to taxpayers while the first of all is for small businesses. It's a session 44
tax credit. Basically they have 50% tax credit for anything that's determined to try to comply with the ADA up to $10,250 for the $250. Basically they can deduct and you can get your card and you need the first $250. And today you need 50% in the first $10,250 here. Some of the business but exactly $10,250 will give you $5,000 off on a tax credit which is going to make those use here for them to make some of these changes through the briefing if you can talk about it anyway. You can put it up to the sides and it's going to strive to dial up to the ADA and anything you want to comply with the ADA you can use on this tax credit. Accessibility has defined an ADA extends beyond buildings to cover transportation. Currently, voices are often the most accessible campaign or panic and we want to use consider the more aggressive transit districts. The tremendous transit has been 100% accessible since 1980. For more information
you can find it here for a major situation here in the university. This is so hard to show you. The other people can watch more. Once we're still silent and all I'm going to do is teach some plenty to point with. But as some point out these not always that soon. But they say that they are any teppy equipment. Yet, when you find for how you have lost and most people talk they say sorry for any people who want to live this morning. Now, what does that person do? But sat there and it has to be somewhere. One person gets in that kind of pixel. Accessible lost. And they're sitting out front and they're being suspected called for everybody to say that it is very frustrating
very humility. For your experience for your use compliance by getting quality ADA doesn't come from all your dreams and your trends because presently you can regulate by this law. these are the university and we should do something early transportation system and individuals apply our needs me. a three-ounce flight case that's a good place. Complete accessibility means everyone must be willing some sacrifice. are you as a taxpayer person who wants to engage in those people who are affected and that's in here and that law requires accessibility
the ADA doesn't just apply transportation and the accessibility also means access to the workforce just want people know not normal can do something that is very things in the community church has been and disability she received occasional training developmental services center in central movement third when she's employed on as the public some folks just a access it FIL sure
come to study as everybody just I feel like I can do a lot more, what's my life, the days called by what I'm going to be working for more lives in this business over here, you know, what can you do to me? If I hire somebody, we don't want them to hire somebody, just take pity upon or send me. You know, she just made a job and she's going to make these characters. We want somebody to go to the future of the theater now and do the NASA assembly once. We can't just move somebody in the middle of their qualified, and learn people who don't have a lot for terms every day in this country. We're keeping any qualified individual out of the workforce, doesn't just hurt that worker in her society.
You can't go for it in any way. I'm pretty no less than their fortune attention. That means certainly in terms of picking up the communications of each other. The other hand, if you can't hold it to the barrier, it keeps us very, very pretty. It's not their participation, it doesn't make any sense of it better. And it means also in terms of memories of it. It will be able to utilize more effective way of resource than we have in that area. So, because you have feedback from the right now, the information and the discussion meeting to the surprise picture of taxes will be here. That's enough. So, you can see the fields of nursing and history in the workforce, and it says that it's not fair. It makes me feel kind of funny about don't be able to buy things. Because when I piece of things that I might really need, you know, maybe I might want to go up and buy me some clothes or something like this. You've got no money, and you can't buy anything.
The ADA extends rights to people with disabilities, such as the right to have courts decide complaints based on discrimination. And from any belief, this is an important aspect of the law. Some think it rebates down the front. I don't want to see our situation in the court. I don't want to see most situations in the court because when it comes to court, you're not spending money just on access. There's been a lot of attorney space and we'll call it some litigation expenses. And it reduces the amount of accessibility from it. And you are willing to make reasonable company accommodations. And it's a, you know, all prepared as we're here. You know, it's not our name, but I think I'm fine. You're not going to be able to make any confusion. This is the first time that I think it tells you how to do it. I think it's a thing that you have to treat me. It's just a physical barrier. It's a perception. I think it is a certain person. And again, it creates opportunity.
And that's what you're saying. That's what you're saying. And it's a kind of person to make a barrier. It's what you're aware of. You know, whatever it is. And you want to make sure. And the media is more than you, some of which are many. So people in those are the generation that shows a wealth of strong wealth of money. What? I don't know what's going to get me wrong, but we'll take time. Regardless of any ball that's passed, I still feel that there's going to be any negative attitude. There's going to be this foundation or more or less of any ball that's passed. I still don't want them. And I'm going to be a version that I'm going to get rid of, which is how I've got to be. I can get my lunch there. But maybe I can be a part teacher. It's not a thing at all. When you get out of someone who doesn't really first fall,
remember that there's a disease that is not a disability that you need. I mean, you'll be saying, hi to them. You know, I actually think that you're going to just talk with them. Tell me what you want to ask questions about. There's a question about just nothing more than curious. You just can't have everything in there. You're just not perfect. You still don't want to be sure that you think I'm going to. I can come and look at the longest time you've ever done. Or maybe I can do a job. My guy can do it for you to see. I'm going to talk to someone.
I'm going to be in. I do think it's not common. I'm going to be bored on this situation. But I don't know why this is going to be your life. So now I'm going to be happy. That's what I'm going to be sitting down with my husband. So I'm going to be ready. I'm going to be ready. I'm going to help with it. So there's one thing I want to get up for. First I get up. And then I get to go up together. And then I get to go up together. One more time.
