 dings:\n\n\n	\n	physical or mental disabilities in no way diminish a perso
 n's right to fully participate in all aspects of society\, yet many people
  with physical or mental disabilities have precluded from doing so because
  of discrimination\; others who have a record of a disability or are regar
 ded as having a disability also have been subjected to discrimination\;\n	
 \n	\n	Historically\, society has tended to isolate and segregate individua
 ls with disabilities\, and\, despite some improvements\, such forms of dis
 crimination against individuals with disabilities continue to be a serious
  and pervasive social problem\;\n	\n	\n	discrimination against individuals
  with disabilities persists in such critical areas as employment\, housing
 \, public accommodations\, education\, transportation\, communication\, re
 creation\, institutionalization\, health services\, voting\, and access to
  public services\;\n	\n	\n	unlike individuals who have experienced discrim
 ination on the basis of race\, color\, sex\, national origin\, religion\, 
 or age\, individuals who have experienced discrimination on the basis of d
 isability have often had no legal recourse to redress such discrimination\
 ;\n	\n	\n	individuals with disabilities continually encounter various form
 s of discrimination\, including outright intentional exclusion\, the discr
 iminatory effects of architectural\, transportation\, and communication ba
 rriers\, overprotective rules and policies\, failure to make modifications
  to existing facilities and practices\, exclusionary qualification standar
 ds and criteria\, segregation\, and relegation to lesser services\, progra
 ms\, activities\, benefits\, jobs\, or other opportunities\;\n	\n	\n	censu
 s data\, national polls\, and other studies have documented that people wi
 th disabilities\, as a group\, occupy an inferior status in our society\, 
 and are severely disadvantaged socially\, vocationally\, economically\, an
 d educationally\;\n	\n	\n	the Nation's proper goals regarding individuals 
 with disabilities are to assure equality of opportunity\, full participati
 on\, independent living\, and economic self-sufficiency for such individua
 ls\; and\n	\n	\n	the continuing existence of unfair and unnecessary discri
 mination and prejudice denies people with disabilities the opportunity to 
 compete on an equal basis and to pursue those opportunities for which our 
 free society is justifiably famous\, and costs the United States billions 
 of dollars in unnecessary expenses resulting from dependency and non-produ
 ctivity.\n	\n\n\nWhat would they find today? What do you seek for the next
  twenty-five years?\n
