More than one in ten, that is, at least 50m citizens throughout the EU, must deal with a disability and are confronted daily with physical barriers. And, as populations are increasingly ageing and disabilities are often acquired with age, their number is set to increase. Although EU legislation has been in place since 2000 to implement the principle of equal treatment in employment, disabled people still remain among the most disadvantaged social groups throughout Europe. Indeed, 45% of Europeans recently surveyed think that discrimination amongst disabled people is particularly rife.

| Senator Barack Obama on Autism and Disability - 220 sec
From the candidate's website:
"We must build a world free of unnecessary barriers, stereotypes, and discrimination .... policies must be developed, attitudes must be shaped, and buildings and organizations must be designed to ensure that everyone has a chance to get the education they need and live independently as full citizens in their communities."
Obama's comprehensive agenda to empower individuals with disabilities fits in with the campaign's overarching message of equalizing opportunities for all Americans.
In addition to reclaiming America's global leadership on this issue by becoming a signatory to -- and having the Senate ratify -- the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, the plan has four parts, designed to provide lifelong supports and resources to Americans with disabilities. They are as follows:
First, provide Americans with disabilities with the educational opportunities they need to succeed.
Second, end discrimination and promote equal opportunity.
Third, increase the employment rate of workers with disabilities.
And fourth, support independent, community-based living for Americans with disabilities.

| Oread Disability Studies Section Ribbon Cutting - 561 sec
Ribbon cutting for disability-studies book section at Oread Books set for
April 6
Life Span Institute doctoral student Dot Nary always thought that there should be a disability studies section in the Oread Bookstore in the Kansas Union. She found that Lisa Eitner, general book supervisor at Oread Books, was enthusiastic about the idea.
The dedication of a section for books on disability studies and the disability rights movement will be 2 to 4 p.m. Thursday, April 6, in Oread Books in the Kansas Union on the University of Kansas campus in Lawrence.
A brief program at 2:30 p.m. will feature a ribbon cutting, speakers, a literature table and door prizes. Fifteen KU departments and organizations, including the Life Span Institute and several other Life Span affiliated centers, are co-sponsoring the event, which is free and open to the public.
Typically, bookstores designate sections devoted to books on group movements and issues, such as women and racial minorities, but it is less common for books on disability to be shelved together.
"It is important that we recognize the importance of the disability rights movement and of disability studies as an area of scholarship. This recognition can serve to promote greater awareness of the contemporary experience of disability in society and contribute to social change," said Dot Nary, doctoral student in applied behavioral psychology and co-coordinator of the event.
April 6 was chosen for the ribbon cutting to honor an event now considered by many to be the political coming-of-age of the disability rights movement. During the first week of April in 1977, people with disabilities began a 25-day sit-in at the federal building in San Francisco, the longest such event ever held in a U.S. federal building. A group of 120 activists with a variety of disabilities protested the fact that regulations to implement Section 504 of the 1973 Rehabilitation Act had not yet been issued, thereby delaying discrimination remedies guaranteed by this federal law. Their protest was successful as 504 regulations were signed into law on April 28, 1977, without proposed changes that would have significantly weakened this landmark legislation.
Speakers at the event will include Kathryn Nemeth Tuttle, associate vice provost for Student Success; Glen White, professor of applied behavioral science, who teaches an undergraduate course on independent living for people with disabilities; and a representative of AbleHawks, a campus group for KU students with disabilities.

| Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton on Autism and Disability - 449 sec
From Hillary 2008 website:
Disability rights are civil rights -- the right to be treated equally. They are human rights -- the right of all people to fulfill their God-given potentials. And they are an urgent issue for America -- because America will never achieve our potential until all Americans can achieve theirs.
Now obviously we have come a long way in this country. But, we have our work cut out for us if we're going to keep the promise that we should -- that we will continue to work for a more perfect union that includes Americas. For the past seven years, it's as though people with disabilities have been invisible to this President and his administration.
If you're a child who can't get the special education classes you need -- you're invisible.
If you're a citizen who wants to vote, but the polling place doesn't have the right equipment or the right help -- you're invisible.
If you're a worker wants a job, but can't find one that accommodates your disability -- you're invisible too.
Well, people with disabilities may be invisible to George Bush, but they are not invisible to you, and they will never be invisible to me.
This is a cause I've been involved with for throughout my 35 years.
