Great job covering many impairments. The videos were set up in easy to read format. A helpful addition to the movie selection would be one on Alzheimer's disease, for this is a growing problem with law enforcement.

"July 26 marks the 19th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act.... the ADA's provisions include the right to seek, obtain, pursue and maintain employment without being hampered by physical or attitudinal barriers. I believe that having a job is a civil right. Those who are qualified for and want to work should not be denied that right because of an inaccessible building or an outdated set of assumptions about what they can or cannot do..."
