The new ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) passed revised rules and regulations in 2010. Charged with implementing these changes, the DOJ, EEOC, and the Department of Labor have passed new regulations, updated originals, and made clear as to what, who, and how you are covered. As wells as, providing instructions on where and how to seek help and protection under the ADA. This link also includes information on where to seek help with job seeking, training, and education. It also provides information on federal programs regarding housing, accessibility, and other such programs. A wealth of information that is very well organized. The regular Disability.Gov site is also a very informative and is updated regularly with valuable information.

- Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: LOBPI. I am 77 yrs old and never had a name for my injuries until 2004 when I found UBPN at age 66.
My injuries are: LOBPI on upper body and Cerebrael Palsy on the lower left extremities. The only intervention I've had is a tendon transplant from my left leg to my left foot to enable flexing t age 24 in 1962. Before that, my foot would freeze without notice on the side when wearing heels AND I always did wear them at work "to fit in" I also stuttered until around age 18-19...just outgrew it...no therapy for it. Also suffered from very very low self esteem; severe Depression and Anxiety attacks started at menopause. I stuffed emotions and over-compensated in every thing I did to "fit in" and be "invisible". My injuries were Never addressed or talked about until age 66. I am a late bloomer!!!!!
I welcome any and all questions about "My Journey".

Re: ADA: New and updated laws for Disabled
not to be negative but will the ADA say she was disabled BEFORE the law went into effect so therefore denying the benefits you need? stating that you have to go by the law that was in effect when she was born? just a thought and something to watch out for.

Re: ADA: New and updated laws for Disabled
My dear Louise,
I suggest that it is NOT "just 1 arm"; I suggst that you make a list of ALL Things AND
Activities of every day life that Miss Elizabeth CANNOT DO by herself and I believe a bigger picture of her "disabilities" will emerge for you, then go back over the ADA Document.
HUGGZ, Love & a Prayer too,

Re: ADA: New and updated laws for Disabled
if you make a video of her trying to do things along with a written list, that may help a lot too.

Re: ADA: New and updated laws for Disabled
GOSH YES, Louise!...a video like Joyce sugguested will definitely do it. Also DO NOT GIVE UP Appealing denials...you appeal "Until"...it is a fact that parents who appeal at least 3 times usually get approved because "they" know you are NOT going away. There are many posts collaborating just this on "Both Adults & Teens with OBPI" AND TBPI Forum message boards.
Persistence, my friend.
HUGGZ for you & Miss Elizabeth,
