Our Perpetual Responsibilities of Advocates with Disabilities

We have to find a way over the coming years to:

• enforce the ADA and Olmstead Act (secure funding)
• demand better enforcement of public transportation services
• close down the nursing homes, except for those who wish to be there
• improve the wage of personal assistant services and the quality of care received by the clients
• find more accessible affordable housing
• enforce the Air Carrier Act
• give all healthcare services free to low-income people and people with disabilities
• start small businesses or customized employment and improve higher education
• provide more public education for those who need it
• make disability studies a major in all universities, public and private
• better train people on assistive technology and devices
• teach people how to navigate through the benefits system
  
• have action teams set up to deal with any situation for persons with disabilities
• more community involvement and more sensitivity training
