The headline reads" Dubious Aid for the Disabled," and the attached story speaks of evidence that the Americans with Disabilities Act (" ADA") 1 has led to reductions, rather than the anticipated increases, in the employment of individuals with disabilities. 2 Can the results be believed? Some evidence suggests yes. The National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research recently reported, for example, that the ADA has not led to an improvement of employment conditions to disabled persons generally. 3 The findings from the latest National Organization on Disability/Louis Harris poll suggest that the percentage of disabled individuals who are employed has declined since its surveys in 1994 and 1986.4 Numerous others have noted that the law is not yielding the outcomes expected by its drafters. 5
