The Statistics Are Glaring:

The most recent U.S. National Survey identifies 5.3 million children ages 3-17 have been diagnosed with ADHD.

The 25,000 disability related complaints of 2011 to the EEOC equivocate to 625,000 total complaints. Why? Because 96% of complainers simply go away; statistically, only 4 % of the complainers actually complain.

The reason for the lack of complaints evolves from three issues
  • Insufficient knowledge of the required process
  • Human behavior
  • Insufficient knowledge and access to legal resources

The Facts Are:

The public continues to have difficulty in recognizing the many faces of disability discrimination including soft discrimination; and, the ADA community has little knowledge of the process required for accessing support and seeking guidance. Furthermore, when legal representation or consultation is required the availability of these services are difficult to find.
