Case Analysis: The Tennessee Vs. Lane Case
Tennessee V. Lane Case Before 2004, courthouses and other public buildings differed from how they are today. There was one thing that these buildings did not have, a handicapped entrance. At this time, it could be very embarrassing to be handicapped because you could do nothing for yourself. If you wanted to enter a public building, you had to ask someone to carry you in, or even worse, you might have to crawl up stairs to enter! This was a definite problem that had been around for years, however, no one addressed it.

This all changed after the Tennessee v. Lane case. This case forced public buildings to install handicapped entrances, making life easier for anyone handicapped. This case was a real eye-opener to the struggle of being handicapped and it …show more content…

    Occupational Therapy Assistant Case Study

    As my partner and I maneuvered around campus, we came across various barriers which would hinder the best performance of an individual in a wheelchair. For example, in Birch Hall we attempted to access the available study rooms, but the doors to the study rooms are made of thick glass, making the process of opening the door extremely difficult. Moreover, we traveled from the Birch building to the Hickory building, entering a steep path. We identified that a person in a wheelchair could potentially lose control as a result of the path’s downhill nature. In addition, when we reached the Hickory building, we found that the restrooms had no doors. Although, at first, this would appear to benefit an individual with a wheelchair, the walls curved…

    Walgreens Diversity Case Study

    Adverse impact creates numerous barriers for people with disabilities. While a minorities, women, or elderly persons do not typically have to concern themselves with job requirements necessitating the use of a short flight of stairs, the operation of small keypads, or easy mental arithmetic, these things could all pose special problems for people with various disabilities. If this hampers those individuals from gaining employment, we see a clear example of how adverse impact discrimination creates a special barrier between disabled individuals and gainful…

    When People Challenged People In The 1900's

    SEGREGATION OF PEOPLE IN THE 1900S For most of the 20th century it was very common for people with disabilities to be separated from the rest of society. A lot of disabled people were put into institutions for their “own good and societies good.” In 1913 the Mental Incapacity act was put into place to “help” people who lack mental capacity. This act locked people away and they were no longer free.…

    California Handicap Parking

    The majority of property owners in the United States understand the importance of the regulations stated in the Americans With Disability Act of 1990, also known as the ADA. After all, these rules are about providing safe, identifiable and fair entrance and exit into and out of buildings, rooms or areas within said structures and even the parking lots for those who suffer from various types of disabilities. At present, not all property owners take steps to comply with these regulations, and this fact is quite evident here in California. Citizens in this state have the right to file a lawsuit against the public establishments when they do not offer the correct ADA signs or California Handicap Parking signs.…

    Project Closure and Oversight

    Classification of the project—e.g., large/small, platform/incremental, complex/ typical * Analysis of information gathered * Recommendations * Lessons learned * An appendix with backup information to support recommendations. 2. Why is it difficult to perform a truly independent, objective review?In most cases those performing the review have some previous knowledge of the project, which presents opportunities for bias. Sometimes the review team, or facilitator, is perceived as a jury, but even jury members come with built-in biases. For example, internal politics have been known to enter into decisions concerning closure of a project. The simple point is that every attempt should be made to keep the review independent and objective. If the review of projects is a regular procedure for all projects, the negative stigma of audits is minimized. 3. Why should you separate performance…

    Disabilities In 1800s

    Beginning in the late 1800’s, the disabled were housed in institutions. Evidence of this is shown on http://paul-burtner.dental.ufl.edu/oral-health-care-for-persons-with-disabilities/societys-attitude-toward-people-with-disabilities/ when it states “Beginning in the late 1800’s, institutions were built by state and local administrative agencies to house people with developmental disabilities. These institutions were usually built on the outskirts of town.” This suggests, the disabled were disrespected by putting them into institutions far from others.…

    Morality and the Human Genome Project Does the Human Genome Project affect the moral standards of society? Can the information produced by it become a beneficial asset or a moral evil? For example, in a genetic race or class distinction the use of the X chromosome markers can be used for the identification of a persons ethnicity or class (Murphy,34). A seemingly harmless collection of information from the advancement of the Human Genome Project. But, lets assume this information is used to explore ways to deny entry into countries, determine social class, or even who gets preferential treatment.…
