All they want is to take part of society as a normal individual. The disability-movement has fought for the disabilities rights throughout the years and has achieved goals such as accommodation of architectural infrastructures to serve better people who are physical impairments. The public policies have been great accomplishments because it has helped people with disabilities to be part of society. The disability-movement points out the healthcare finance policies have taken freedom away from the disability community, “ Health-care financing policies force disabled people into Institutions and nursing homes rather than funding independent living. Income-maintenance and public health-insurance policies include “disincentives” that penalize disabled individuals for trying to work productively.”(p.4). The government has done a great job on protecting disabled individuals’ rights. However, the health-care system has isolated this group even more by restricting the level of productivity that they have within the system, as a result this medical model marginalizes this group of people and this program available for this community does not fully address their issues.

Doka and Lavin (2003) report that advances in medical care and a shift to deinstitutionalization have contributed to this increase in life expectancy for developmentally disabled adults. Increasingly, federal policy has linked addressing the housing needs of older adults with those of low-income and non-elderly disabled individuals, according to

The ADA of 1990 also forced public and private businesses to cater to the needs of these people by enabling them accessibility to all the things able-bodied people had access to.

The Division of Senior Services and Transportation Disadvantage are state funded programs which provide monies for disabled and elderly people to participate in the program free of charge (Palm Tran CONNECTION, 2012).

As Sherrod reminisced about “The good ole’ days”, he spoke about when he began leading others. He said, “Leading is about connecting with your peers, it is about making people be able to trust you and know that you have their best interest

An area where the disability community would like to see more financial support is in the area of training. Many members agreed that with the ongoing safety issues, SafeTracak, and the planned emergency exercises, sensitivity training for working with customers with disability and seniors citizens, is an extremely important line item in the budget. The more financial resources Metro can add to training for all customers including the disability community, it will improve the customer experience.

After completing the windshield assessment, it is apparent that the community seems to be thriving more in the last 5 years. Newer establishments have been made and more are expected to come. There is a need for more law enforcement. The building and officers are there, but they spend most of their time at the jail instead of out patrolling. There is also a need for more work to be done to the lake to help the community thrive more. There is a need for more services to assist the older population with staying functional in their homes.
