Disabilities
The ACLU is striving for an America free of discrimination against people with disabilities, where they are valued, integrated members of society with full access to education, homes, health care, jobs, voting, and beyond.
What you need to know:
- 70% of public school students who are physically restrained or secluded have disabilities.
- 60% of people in local jails have some form of mental disability.
- 48% of people with disabilities have a personal income of $15,000 or less.
There are federal laws that can provide protection from discrimination, segregation, and exclusion. Know your rights.
July is Disability Pride Month.
