This manual is an edited collection of recent articles and resource materials prepared by the American Bar Association's Commission on Mental and Physical Disability Law. This manual discusses in detail the first three titles of the ADA, dealing with employment, state and local government services, and public accommodations, and devotes less attention to Titles IV and V, concerning telecommunications and the Act's miscellaneous provisions. A major audience for this manual is the public sector: state and local governments, courts, and other publicly supported programs and activities. Substantial portions of the manual will also be useful for employers, businesses, libraries, and the legal profession, including lawyers, law firms, and law schools. Moreover, the manual is written for both lawyers and non-lawyers.
