Cruisin' Cripples Radio

The more shows we do, the more we see how misunderstood the disabled community is. Today we discuss Nevada's  Clark County $150,000 settlement with a claustrophobic woman who said working in a cubicle caused her severe anxiety. Anxiety disorders are listed under the ADA but are often viewed as temporary, and the law covered only conditions deemed permanent according to Robert Spretnak, an attorney who specializes in employment law. We also discuss The Legal Center for People with Disabilities and Older People, who filed a complaint  with Colorado's Douglass County  department’s Civil Rights Division, citing violations of federal laws governing the treatment of students with disabilities, including the Americans with Disabilities Act.
