In 1990, Congress passed the Americans with Disabilities Act, arguably the nation’s most sweeping civil-rights law since the mid-’60s. President George Bush said the legislation would allow handicapped people who wanted jobs “to move proudly into the economic mainstream.” But four years later, even as National Disability Employment Awareness Month comes to a close, the reality of ADA has turned out to be quite different.
