    The Rehabilitation Act of 1973 prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability much like the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibited discrimination on the basis of race.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The Rehabilitation Act of 1973 is a federal law that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in programs and activities receiving federal financial assistance. This act was enacted to ensure that individuals with disabilities have equal opportunities and access to employment, education, and other areas of public life. Similarly, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Both acts aim to protect individuals from discrimination and promote equality. Therefore, the statement is true.

    • They are untrained

    • They have limited respect for people with developmental disabilities

    • They are act parental toward people with developmental disabilities

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer

Therefore, all of these options can contribute to the violation of the rights of people with disabilities.

    People with developmental disabilities were denied the right to marry.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation

This discriminatory practice was based on the belief that individuals with disabilities were not capable of making informed decisions or having a fulfilling marital relationship. However, denying them the right to marry is a violation of their basic human rights. It is important to recognize that individuals with developmental disabilities have the same capacity for love, companionship, and commitment as anyone else, and they should be allowed to marry if they so choose.

    If a staff member feels that it is necessary to protect a person we serve by not supporting their desire to learn to take public transportation, this is not a rights violation.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    If a staff member feels that it is necessary to protect a person we serve by not supporting their desire to learn to take public transportation, this is a rights violation.
