I'll compare the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services with Korean Ministry of Health and Welfare about THE LAW for Disabled people.
What is the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)?
"The Americans with Disabilities Act is a federal law guaranteeing equal opportunity for individuals with disabilities in public accommodations, employment, transportation, State and local government services, and telecommunications."
TO GET ADA
[+ The original ADA was a move to combat discrimination against disabled people by potential or existing employers, governments, and unions. In order to be covered by the ADA, you have to fit these three descriptions:
- Possess a physical or mental impairment that limits major activities in life in one or more ways
- Possess a record detailing your impairment
- Be regarded as currently having the recorded impairment]
