It all started in Illinois about the equal treatment of people with disabilities since the early 1900s. In fact, many organizations have been established in Illinois to help make enforce the laws. For example, the Office of Disability Rights, American Civil Liberties of Illinois, Chicago Human Rights Ordinance, Chicago Association for Children with Learning Disabilities, and Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan are mentioned in this project. Today, many people with disabilities have more rights than before. Even after so much progress, people with disabilities still face some form of inequality in society. Therefore, disability rights programs and organizations have many effective laws in Illinois to provide legal protection to people with disabilities. Without the laws and movements found in Illinois, there would be no change in the lives of people with disabilities. But some argue that there is still some form of discrimination based on stereotypes, abuse and other misconceptions. This bill covers all rights of people with disabilities in Illinois. Are Illinoisans fully covered for equality? These laws help to strengthen protection and enable people with disabilities to lead normal lives. People with disabilities have a right under the law to fair and equal opportunities in all aspects of life. The Office of Disability Rights enforces state and federal laws that protect the rights of people with disabilities to equal access to buildings, housing, and services, including the Environmental Barriers Act. The Office of Disability Rights regularly provides technical assistance and referrals to individuals with disabilities and to public and private entities seeking to comply with disability rights laws. The Bureau conducts drug treatment activities for children with various disabilities and has found itself very frustrated by the lack of useful and available information and assistance. By the end of 1995, it was estimated that one in five people in the United States had some level of disability, with one in ten being severe. According to 1995 census data, the percentage of people aged 22 to 64 living in poverty was 13.3%. But among the disabled, that figure was 19.3 percent. Finally, and partly through inspiration provided by the civil rights struggles of the 1960s, disability rights advocates began to push for full legal equality and access to mainstream society. With disability rights, people have the right to be free from confinement unless they pose a danger to themselves or others, the right to a court hearing to challenge involuntary commitment, and the right to a lawyer during commitment hearings.
