For the disabled there are thousands of ramps to nowhere. The roads that, for the rest of us, lead to education, employment, recreation or to basic needs such as restrooms, hotels and restaurants, are dead ends for them. Their impediment to access violates basic civil rights provided for by the Americans with Disabilities Act adopted more than twenty years ago and never fulfilled. Discrimination today for the disabled is no longer ignorant but knowledgeable and must end. A Ramp to Nowhere is a heartfelt, eye-opening personal chronicle of a family's struggle with their son's disabling diagnosis; and how their naive understanding of a system funded to promote growth, development, independence, and mainstreaming turned into advocacy against that failed system.
