Legislations:
There are many laws that are important and protect a person with disabilities. Some of these laws that I will be talking about is:
The National Authority Act 1999.
Under the National Authority Act the National Disability Authority (NDA) was set up. The Authority was established on June 12, 2000. The function of the NDA is to provide guidance and advice to the government on policies, practices and technical standards relating to disability. They advise people on the standards and guidelines in services to provide people with disabilities and to develop education and promote awareness.
The vision the NDA is that there will be a society in which people with disabilities enjoy equal rights and opportunities to participate in the economic, social and cultural life of the nation, and of an environment which is accessible to all. The NDA gives independent advice and guidance to anyone who needs it. In developing independence and guidance they consider the national and international evidence and listen to what people with disabilities have to say.
The Disability Act 2005.
The Disability Act 2005 places a statutory obligation on public service providers to support access to services and facilities for people with disabilities. On the 31st December 2005, an obligation was placed on all public bodies to make their buildings and services accessible to people with physical disabilities. The term disability under the Act means a substantial restriction of a person to carry out a business, profession or occupation in the state or to participate normally in social and cultural life by enduring a physical or sensory disability which results in a difficulty in communication or mobility. Among other provisions, the Disability Act 2005 provides a statute-based right for people with disabilities to an assessment of disability-related health, personal social service and education needs.
The Education for Persons with Special Needs Act 2004.
