Education: Schools are prohibited from discriminating against students with disabilities.
Transportation: Public transportation systems must be accessible to individuals with disabilities.

Reasonable accommodations can include things like making changes to a workplace or school environment, providing accessible transportation, or providing sign language interpreters.
The ADA is an important law that protects the rights of individuals with disabilities. If you believe that you have been discriminated against on the basis of disability, you should contact a civil rights attorney.
