Handicapped rights focus of workshop
By JOHN LUDWIG
Of the Emerald
Part of the 1973 Rehabilitation
Act is essentially a “Bill of Rights,”
for the handicapped, Marion Sol
oman of the Seattle HEW Re
gional Office for Civil Rights said
Saturday at a “How-to Workshop”
for handicapped citizens of
Eugene-Springfield.
The workshop, sponsored by
the Eugene Commission on the
Rights of the Handicapped, was
part of the commission s continu
ing effort to provide educational
workshops, to identify the percen
tage of handicapped persons in
the population and to channel dis
crimination suits for the handicap
ped to the three human rights
specialists working for the city
manager, explained Carol Johan
- sen, the workshop coordinator.
Solomon told the workshop au
dience what Section 504 of the
1973 Rehabiliation Act means,
both to the handicapped and to
the institutions receiving HEW
funds. “Any program receiving fi
nancial assistance from HEW, in
cluding elementary and secon
dary schools, colleges, hospitals
and social service agencies, must
comply with Section 504 to con
tinue receiving money.”
One of the “key issues” is
“program accessibility,” she
said. Under this regulation, all
buildings must be architecturally
accessible to the handicapped.
Not all buildings must have
elevators, but classes normally of
fered on the second floor should
meet also on the first floor.
“In order to gain program ac
cessibility,” said Solomon, “a total
program change is necessary in
regards to toilet facilities, drinking
facilities, pay phones and parking
lots.” Each program must now
comply with Section 504 building
regulations or have on its files a
“transition program” that states
the problem, solution, course of
action and time-frame in which the
problem will be corrected. This
file, which was to be completed by
Dec. 2, last year, will be main
tairied for the next three years, at
which time compliance will be
mandatory, she explained.
"University libraries,” Solomon
said, "are required by section 504
to provide aids who are available
to assist the handicapped with re
corders and Braille literature.
Special assistants in certain
academic areas will also be re
quired, such as writing assistants,
chemistry lab aids, aids at the re
ception areas of some buildings
and interpreters for the deaf.
‘‘Employment discrimination is
another facet of 504," Solomon
added. ‘‘Employers may not re
fuse to hire or promote handicap
ped persons solely because of
their disability. Also, employers
will be required to make reasona
ble accomodation’ for handicap
ped employees.”
In order to meet “reasonable
accomodation” requirements, she
said, employers may be faced
with some expenses. The HEW
wili look at the budgets of emp
loyers to determine how much can
be put into “reconstructing" job
situations to meet the needs of the
handicapped.” In some cases re
construction’ may mean nothing
more than lowering a desk for an
employee confined to a wheel
chair,” Solomon explained.
