The Americans with Disability Act (ADA) 1990 – passed the Senate and was sent to the House of Representatives on September 7, 1989 where it stalled. The disabled community protested bringing attention to force the House to pass the law on July 26th, 1990. The ADA community had little concerns regarding the revisions amended by the House.

The Statistics Are Glaring:
The most recent U.S. National Survey identifies 5.3 million children ages 3-17 have been diagnosed with ADHD.The 25,000 disability related complaints of 2011 to the EEOC equivocate to 625,000 total complaints. Why? Because 96% of complainers simply go away; statistically, only 4 % of the complainers actually complain.
The reason for the lack of complaints evolves from three issues
1. Insufficient knowledge of the required process
2. Human behavior
3. Insufficient knowledge and access to legal resources
