Testing for disability discrimination

NLIHC has spotted an excellent guidebook from HUD on identifying disability discrimination that should make extremely useful reading for property owners. This free PDF document is a detailed, in-depth look at ways of testing for the different forms of disability discrimination that is also backhandedly useful as advice on What Not To Do. It also provides a helpful and solidly footnoted introduction to the federal law of equal treatment and reasonable accommodation. Because mental and physical disabilities are as various as human beings, and their appropriate accommodations vary hugely with circumstances, the resulting law involves questions a lot more subtle than the presence or absence of a wheelchair ramp. This guidebook could be a genuine eye-opener. Do take a look.
