The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a United States federal civil rights law that prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities.
Who issues it
It is a statute of the United States, enacted by Congress and codified in the United States Code.
The catalog states: “In accordance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), InterCoast Colleges does not exclude handicapped individuals from participation in the programs offered by the college, solely by reason of the handicap.”
Which program covers it
In InterCoast Colleges’ Behavioral Health Assistant program, the Americans with Disabilities Act appears in the course BHS121 (Community Health Work Strategies).
Of that course, the catalog states: “The student will also be trained to recognize the stigma experienced by consumers of mental health services and its impact on recovery; and demonstrate the ability to challenge this stigma, define policies including laws concerning Rights of Recipients of Mental Health Services and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements.”
This topic is covered in the Behavioral Health Assistant program at InterCoast Colleges.
