Did you know there is a forgotten group of disabled people? these are the ones with invisible disabilities, or who are only partially or moderately disabled. They are not capable of surviving on the level of a non-disabled person, but are denied the same rights as a person who is totally disabled.
For instance, there are housing programs for people who are not ambulatory, but if you have a physical disbility which greatly limiits you but you can walk, you are shut out.
In other words, those who have partial or moderate disability are discriminated against in both sectors. And if the disability is invisible, people just don't want to believe you.
Just an idea for you to consider

THere ae quite a number of disabilities out there. The obvious is blindness, deafness, physical disabilities and intellectual disabilities but..................A person who has a mental health is which is not visible and this mental health issue effects them considerably - it is not taken into account.
Also when I worked in a government job I was on an interview panel. There was a questionare about whether we had any people with disabilities on our panel, the fellow with a problem with his arm put his name down and my name - because there was a woman on his panel. Quite a few services and organisations will have placements available just because a person is female- I actually take offence at this!!!!!

My office had a blind employee who had all the latest equipment so that he could perform his job; a talking computer for example.
I was bipolar & it effected my work; couldn't keep up, couldn't concentrate, blah, blah, blah. But I was very good at working frauds & disability work issues. These were 2 areas where everyone had fallen behind on because they are very time consuming & staffing was being reduced. So I asked if I could specialize in this area under the special disability considerations. I was told that it wasn't as though I was blind! So, apparently, a mental condition, didn't count.

What area of disability are you looking to cover. I also had to cover an area of disability for a presentation and as my sister is deaf I concentrated on this area. I used sign language and speaking without sound to highlight how a hearing person would possibly be discriminated against because they couldn't understand what was being said. If this is an area you are considering I would be happy to give you more information on what I did during my presentation

Now this may well be an exceptionally stupid question. How do you assume all of us to help with this once you provide no info in any respect. there are various different stages of incapacity and assorted different techniques a individual may well be discriminated against. until we've some expertise of what has honestly happened theres isn't plenty to assert

One thing that I have noticed is that when someone is unreasonably offended at me, and then discover that I have a mental disability, they excuse their own conduct, blaming me instead. The funniest thing about it is that this seems to happen most often in hospitals. I was signing up for a sleep study to see why I couldn't sleep, and the woman who was giving me directions was upset at me because I wasn't looking at her. I was looking down because that was the best way for me to completely concentrate on her directions (see less visually, take in more audibly). She stopped, and wouldn't continue until I looked up at her and was visually attacked by her glare. Because I hadn't gotten much sleep I had difficulty concentrating, and my behaviour was an adaptation to that problem. When people are miserable they look for excuses, and what's really funny about it is that my biggest problem is that I tend to take too much blame for things. I have social anxiety disorder. I have a B.A. in sociology and have taken a few courses in psychology - that and introspection has helped me to see things more realistically.
