Fresh Start Changing Lives
Housing and Jobs for the Handicapped

Most people will experience some form of disability, either permanent or temporary, over the course of their lives. Given this reality, if disability were more commonly recognized and expected in the way that we design our environments or our systems, it would not seem so abnormal.

The disability model recognizes social discrimination as the most significant problem experienced by persons with disabilities and as the cause of many problems.

Rehabilitation Act of 1973
Congress In The Arlene Decision expanded the definition of "handicapped individual" so as to preclude discrimination against "[a] a person who has a record of, or is regarded as having, an impairment [but who] may at present have no actual incapacity at all." Southeastern Community College v. Davis, 442 U.S. 397, 480 U.S. 281

Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act –
"Is regarded as having an impairment means" (A) Has a physical or mental impairment that does not substantially limit major life activities but that is treated . . . as constituting such a limitation; (B) has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits major life activities only as a result of the attitudes of others toward such impairment; or (C) has none of the impairments as defined [in the actual impairment paragraph] but is treated . . . as having such an impairment.
