I feel that they need to re-write the American Disabilities Act, restrict more
on what the employees treates their employees with Disabilities, and increase
the fines when the employers break the law. A lot of employees out there do
not understand that employees with a learning disability is protected by the
American Disabilities Law.

The ADA Amendments Act of 2008 was just passed and signed into law. Do you
mean how employers treat employees? Or do you mean how employees treat other
employees (co-workers) with a disability? If you mean employees rather than
employers, the employee with a disability should really declare the
disability to his or her employer. ADA protects people who have not declared
and whose disability should be readily ascertainable by the employer, but...
still... the best bet would be to declare the learning disability to the
employer so there is no grey area involved.

In order to get it drafted into law to get the fine increased in the US
would be to write to your local US Senator and House Representative. The
other option would just be to file a complaint against the employer. There
are various time limits and whatnot on how to file a complaint. There is a
wealth of information regarding the protection of disabled people in the US
at:

http://www.ada.gov/

The revisions to ADA (called the The Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA)
Amendments Act Of 2008) will not take effect until January 1, 2009.

I hope some of this helps.

Yes I would say on looking at the ADA web site there may be things that
here in the UK wed probably find different but then its a good thing
for NG's like this that we can educate each other when we may think we
know the right answer and everyone else we think is wrong lol

From what I've heard, the UK is much more progressive in terms of what it
does for disabled people in the UK. Too bad the US hasn't quite caught up
yet. The ADA amendment act helped, but we still have a long way to
go--probably 2 or 3 more amendments to get things right, IMO.
