related groups.)
Dear Frank, and Greetings All:
Thanks and a comment and query.
There's still the USA Highest Court. Having these key issues not yet
absolutely resolved (in the court hierarchy sense) but still coming into
clear cultural consciousness may have its good sides.
What think you? How do communication skills and features figure in, or how
should they.
Warm regards, L D M F.

----- From Frank's post: -----
Last week I circulated a judgment from the USA Supreme Court which was a
very positive judgment from a disability viewpoint. Today I send you a
judgment which is very worrying.
Court Decision: "Mental retardation" is not a disability under ADA
In the case of Littleton vs.. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., the Court of Appeals
for the Eleventh Circuit, in an unpublished opinion from May 11, held that
an individual with mental retardation did not have a disability under the
Americans with Disabilities Act.
With guidance from the Alabama Independent Living Center, Mr. Littleton
interviewed for a job as a cart-push associate at Wal-Mart. However he was
not allowed to have his job coach accompany him into the interview, and he
was ultimately not hired. While acknowledging his intellectual disability,
in the Court's analysis, Littleton, who receives Social Security benefits
because of his disability, was found not to be substantially limited in
major life activities.
The following are excerpts from the court decision:
"We do not doubt that Littleton has certain limitations because of his
mental retardation. In order to qualify as 'disabled' under the ADA,
however, Littleton has the burden of proving that he actually is, is
perceived to be, or has a record of being substantially limited as to 'major
life activities' under the ADA.
"It is unclear whether thinking, communicating, and social interaction are
'major life activities' under the ADA."SPONSORED LINKSNeed to Reply?Click one of the "Reply" links to respond to a specific message in the Daily Digest.
