My assignment says to write no more than 150 words about the requirements specific law places on educators. I have the whole thing complete except for the Americans with Disabilities Act. From what I have read and understand, this focuses more on employers, public transportation, restaurants, hotels, stores, stadiums, and telephone services, and not necessairly education. Can someone please point me in the direction of some information that shows what it has to do with education?
