“Johnson: Promise of ADA remains unfulfilled.”

Scott Landes, associate professor of sociology in the Maxwell School, was quoted by the San Antonio Express-News for the story, “Johnson: Promise of ADA remains unfulfilled.” Landes, an expert on the sociology of disability, says that the COVID-19 pandemic greatly affects those with disabilities, as “they often have pre-existing health conditions and may live in congregate care, leading to higher COVID-19 death rates.” Therefore, those with disabilities rely on the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) during times like these, says Landes.
