KNOW YOUR RIGHTS
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
Both People with Parkinson’s and their caregivers may have statutory (government created) rights to be free from discrimination on the basis of disability and to participate in certain disability-based benefits programs. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), as passed in 1990 and amended in 2008, protects against unlawful discrimination based on disability in virtually all aspects of American life. Having or being diagnosed with an illness does not automatically entitle someone to those protections, and for those eligible for protections the scope of their rights may be limited.
The Parkinson Disease Foundation offers tips on navigating the legal issues which individuals living with Parkinson’s disease may face, as well as a one hour online seminar to watch with tips on navigating the legal issues people living with Parkinson’s disease typically experience.
