The article discusses concerns from people with disabilities regarding President Trump's actions undermining critical accessibility measures. Under his administration, programs mandating accessibility have been rescinded, endangering healthcare and education protections established over decades. Notably, Trump ordered closures of federal programs related to diversity and accessibility, leading to complaints from advocacy groups. The Department of Justice plans to penalize programs promoting accessibility. Experts warn that these changes will have a widespread negative impact, especially considering that disability affects every family at some point.
"It's very clear that there is an orchestrated attack by conservatives to dismantle the rights of people with disabilities," said Shawn Murinko.
"Disability is a natural part of the human experience...and disability affects every family, regardless of race, ethnicity, sex, income or political party," said Katy Neas.
