Review & Description

This provocative book illustrates how the Americans with Disabilities Act has failed to alleviate discrimination against people with mental disabilities. Rich in descriptions of court cases and disability law, Susan Stefan shows how the ADA has been applied in a wide range of are as, such as employment, insurance, medical care, education, and profes sional licensing. Throughout, Stefan, a professor of law, intertwines moving first person accounts with a wealth of hard to find information (complaints under the ADA court settlements, opinion letters, and tes timony from Congressional hearings).
