Feds largely unaware of ADA options in gov't jobs

Another point which the article did not make is: Some supervisors don't want to know the laws because disabled people make them uncomfortable. It is sad to say but many people are afraid of those who are different than they are. It is easier for a supervisor to admit that they are unaware of every employment law than to admit that they don't know how to interact well with others who have special needs. Of course, the clear way to get around this difficulty is to mesh the worlds. The more someone (or a group) is around, the more used to them you get, the more able you are to treat them like a person rather than a disease... but, alas... that is what the laws are for, and sometimes you just have to MAKE people aware of the law.
