    Description
    This course provides an in-depth exploration of the rights and responsibilities of citizens, with a focus on the specific legal protections and requirements for individuals with disabilities. Students will learn about major disability legislation, including the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). The course aims to empower students by developing their understanding of legal frameworks that support their rights and by teaching them how to advocate for reasonable accommodations in both educational and employment settings.
