alterations where you change things to disabled access. a nonstructural repair something has fallen off the building and you are fixing it does not trigger disabled access. new carpeting does not trig are disabled access because it's not an alteration. >> when is it required to have an accessible restroom if you have a small restaurant, for example? >> if the restaurant is new, if it's new, you need to make the restrooms a restroom accessible the plumbing code, the building code has a table that says how many restrooms you need. it says where you have 4 or fewer employees. ; is that correct, you can have a single uni~ sex accessible restroom or fewer employees. if you have an existing restaurant and you are not doing any work you don't have to make your restroom accessible. except there is an ada issue, the ada the americans with disability act is a national umbrella requirement says you need to do things that are readily achievable. that means even if you are not doing work that triggers access under the state law the 119 thousand dollars

if they go to the disability side. that means less there and unemployment rate is dropping and statistics are liing to you. you have to be careful. the government is going to say that and look, the unemployment rate is dropping. yeah, you have people who are systemically unemployed . that is the problem with the society right now. j.p. morgan did a great survey on this. they found the disability fund is going to be exhausted by 2018 because of the huge jump we have seen in the last three years of those who are claiming disability, mental illness s. not just physical, but a mentally unyou stable. >> yeah, i think that is why we have to raise revenues to insure that those who need the safety net that is a promise of america are actually on that safety net. >> you need tax increases to save it. >> i mean tax increases and we are only receiving 14 percent of the revenues which traditionally is 18 percent. we need catch up there. it is ironic that we have the whole debate of entitlement, ironically with conservative politic

what's called a permanent total disability. so there would be no change. >> and what -- if you know, if your staff knows, what percentage of people currently on the roles would fit that grandfather? >> about a quarter of the people on the roles. i also want you to know that president obama's proposal, much of which we have incorporated, the omb estimate is that it saves $500 million over ten years. >> over ten years. >> yes. >> was the billion each year, so that's about $50 million a year, so maybe 5% reduction in cost. does that sound about right? you said 500 -- >> $500 million over ten years. >> that was the obama administration's estimate for across the board savings. >> across the board. >> we actually believe that this proposal will save more than that. although it hasn't been financially estimated yet. >> right. >> and actually, in that regard, we're kind of giving something to the supercommittee as it does its work to try to bring this back in balance. >> keep in mind, the postal employees are disproportionately represe

they met, he was not intellectually disabled but he had a hearing impairment. she was intellectually impaired. could not speak. why that story? >> well, why that story and why fiction. i'll try to do that why that story first. my sister grew up at home. my sister did not grow up in an institution and this was because of funny coincidences in my family history. my father actually grew up in an orphanage and therefor he knew what institutional life was like and when we were growing up he used to say "when you live in an institution, even if someone comes to visit you-- which his father did-- you know at the bottom of your heart you're not really loved. no child of mine will live in an institution." this was the family belief, that people deserved to be out in the world and have the same rights as everyone else and be raised with the family. which my sister was. i then wrote "riding the bus with my sister." it led my to do a lot of public speaking and i met people who didn't have the experience my sister had, who had lived in institutions and i felt like their sto

--americans with disabilities act-- an increasing numb of young children with disabilities are being enrolled in regular childcare centers. a primary benefit of integrating children with special needs into typical early childhood settings is that all the children learn to accept dierences. also, this integration provides children with disabilities more normalized experiences and chances to socialize. while these are important benefits, it's also important to recognize that such youngsters require special services as well. states are obligated by law, in most cases, to provide that help. provision of these services varies from community to community. sometimes the physical therapist, the speech therapist, or the hearing therapist visits and works in the classroom, or sometimes, the child works separately with them. however help is provided, teacher and specialist need to draw on one another's strengths and information to do their very best. woman: very good! take it out! put it on the circle! yeah! when including a child with a disability in a group, we may feel uncomfortable about hw

over 1/3 of our population lives with one or more disabilities. maximizing our participation is critically important. by statistics alone, you should expect over 100,000 disabled spectators over the next two years, as well as families and friends. 70% of all disabilities are hidden or invisible, just like mine are. i endured a traumatic brain injury august 2, 1996. we have an annual spending power ranging to 1 trillion dollars. -- $1 trillion. our city and state are going broke. we need the money. we enjoy sports and sailing. we travel and have money to spend. putting in handicapped parking spaces, and in wheelchair ramps, and meeting 88 access is not enough. the city of san francisco can do better than provide disability access during the 34th america's cup. we can utilize state of the art processes, age, -- signage, and others to create a more inclusive environment that allows us to meaningfully enjoy the best of what is san francisco and allows us to become part of the life of the bay area. these enhancements will be a legacy that transforms ou

children but the lower rate of disability living allowance for disabled children -- [inaudible] almost 27 pounds, 100,000 children are going to be affected. is that not correct to? >> what is correct is that anyone on that lower rate of payment, no one will receive less as a result of their move to universal credit. no one will be affected by that. [shouting] >> does the prime minister agree that a meaningful cap on benefits is essential if we are to end the something for nothing culture which developed under the last government? >> i think that is absolutely right. it is right to bring in this cat. it does introduce a new principle which is you shouldn't be better off on benefits than the average family is in work. but what we've had from the party opposite is a complete silence. are they going to be supporting us tonight? why not just not? nod? nod? [laughter] >> i thought it was all about taking tough decisions? they were in favor of a cap. they're going to tear up some of labour's history. it's time to make bold decisions. come on, one bowl decision. just not, are you with us or ar

children with a receipt of a lower disability premium? >> i make two points to the honorable lady. of course, we have had to reform the tax credit system. when we came into office, even people in this house were eligible for the credit, and we have taken it further down the income scale. in terms of what she said about disability, i make two points. the disability living allowance, the key benefit, is going up by 5.2% this april, and will be well ahead of inflation, and the point i would make a but the universal credit issue is as she knows, the low rate for disabled children, anyone on the level is going to be completely protected. we have not yet set the higher rate, but i can tell the honorable lady it will be at least what it is now and possibly higher. >> will the prime minister as a matter of urgency look into a shocking report into allegations of overcharging and cases of violence and intimidation under a labour-led control? making sure they never worked an adult social services again? >> i will certainly look at the report that sh

i have a disabled partner. open house has provided a tremendous opportunity for social interaction that we would never have had. myself and my partner, my partner is less able to interact in an open house. i intend dozens of open house activities including the man's drop in group, lunches, the discussion groups, every third tuesday. also offers opportunities for volunteer work. the really need support in obtaining a person who can coordinate volunteer services. many of us seniors would love to do volunteer work and who do not know where to go. they do not have the resources now and they're overworked. i am able to volunteer in some activities including longtime involvement in the friendly visitor program which has changed my life personally. bimini lgbt seniors i have met as you now live very lonely, isolated lives and open house has helped them making contact and friends with other lgbt seniors. thank you very much for your continued support. >> i am rick appleby, i am an intake officer. as part of my role the

to the disability funds.hat comes from social security. there's a special fund. that's been running out of money since 2005. now you're running out of money in that fund much more quickly. >> that's something else we're doing is robbing peter to pay barack and draining the social security trust fund. with the payroll tax holiday that's draining $150 billion, accelerating the bankruptcy of social security. but first and foremost, it's important to focus on this unemployment number, the administration is doing their best to drive the number down. but you've got to look at the way that they're driving the numbers down and there's something else, there were a report recently that said 20% of americans have some form of mental illness. this was a new report that -- about six weeks ago. coincidentally 20% of americans are self-described at liberals. >> you saved the sting until the tail. thank you very much indeed. >>> is the media giving president obama a free pass on surging gas prices? michael reagan calling it

and at madison central, we have our severe disability students, we have three classrooms, ten students each for a total of 30 students. so now we're looking at an accountability that doesn't include the entire population that could have an iep that says they should be on an alternative assessment. so i would like for there to be an alternative assessment -- just remove the 1% cap and let the local iep/arc committee determine that, would be really good. an issue that we find we struggle with, at least in my district, my previous district is the highly qualified part of the reauthorization. whenever we look at the highly qualified, it's very burdensome. our teachers struggle, we struggle to hire special needs teachers. and as we are all very aware, some of the best teachers don't come through a natural path through certification. so we would like some alternative ways and not really put the burden on the highly qualified mandate about the testing. so for example, to be highly qualified, and we want to get highly qualified teachers for all of our students. and special needs is one area th

: said prenatal testing is really just the president's way to reduce costs in taking care of the disabled. >> it saves money. in health care. why? because free prenatal testing ends up in more abortions and therefore less care that has to be done. because we cull the ranks of the disabled in our society. >> schieffer: and questioned the value of public schools. >> the idea that the federal government should be running schools frankly much less that the state government should be running schools is anachronistic. >> schieffer: we'll ask him about all of it this morning and then check in with our round table of norah o'donnell and john dickerson plus karen tumulty of the "washington post" and todd spangler of the detroit free press. this is "face the nation." captioning sponsored by cbs from cbs news in washington, "face the nation" with bob schieffer. >> schieffer: good morning. welcome, senator. you are the leader in the polls this morning. i have to say you were very busy yesterday. the associated press led its story of your appearance in columbus ohio by saying, quote, rick santorum que

and i think our perspective is that students with disabilities in general have greatly benefitted from the elementary and and secondary act because the law requires their academic achievement to be measure and reported. and as a result, more students with disabilities have been afforded the opportunity to learn and master grade level academic content. that has been huge for our kids. the whole notion of they get a chance to try. one of the things -- there are a number of things that we like in the senate bill. the notion of states to adopt college and career-ready standards, and an assumption of high expectations. we also are very pleased that the bill does not codify the so-called 2% rule, which for us has allowed people to apply very, very low expectations to achievement for students with disabilities. we're very pleased with the elements that promote universal design for learning throughout the bill, access to multitiered systems of support, including positive behavior interventions, and the notion that early learning can begin at birth, and that then this bill promotes those things

congress signed into law the americans with disabilities act. for property owners that are not doing remodeling, complying with the ada can be costly. cooperation with the department of public works to allow sidewalk modifications for cost- effective building entrances is critical. it would be a different story if of a property owner was proposing to be model of a building -- to remodel a building. mrs. levy has genuine concerns. i met with her to clarify the design. property owners and tenants were sued in federal court. one of the tenants has closed her business. this building was originally constructed in 1908 as a masonic lodge with five ground-floor places. we provided accessible entrances. i would like to describe the proposed design and a couple of options and we studied. let me start with the plan. right where my finger is is the corner. that is the entrance, pretty much as it is now, to the village pizzeria. there are another four stores. today the spaces have been combined, and the other spaces remain the same. this is the optionç we

disabled access takes precedence over how many things. if you can ma make one accessible, make one accessible. >> so if the code says five and disabled access says you can only get in four then you file for a hardship and say i'll put four in. but in a case like this there are almost always solutions. here's an exarnl where you -- example where you only go outside. depending on your creativity, the easiest method is to claim hardship. >> i want everyone to notice that on the exact diagonal of where we were just a few minutes ago is an exit sign. that's the second exit. every one of these buildings has at least two exits. that's a requirement. i believe this building actually has three. but at a minimum, you must have two exits that are separated by half a diagonal of the building. and they'll have a sign, and that's a rated corridor, and it goes all the way down half the plaza level all the way down to the concourse level to a corridor that goes up some stairs and puts you right on pine street. >> okay. let's look at the pipes that are ha

so the number of people on disability has exploded.artificially pushes down the unemployment rate and it bleeds the social security disability fund to the tune of $200 billion a year. it's already running at a deficit, it will totally run out of money in 2018 so we're adding to the overall deficit as we artificially cut the unemployment rate. >> is that because, stuart, once you go off unemployment benefits and go on disability benefits, you're pulled out of the system. >> yes, you're no longer considered unemployed. you're out of the system. you're out of the labor force. you are no longer counted. so the unemployment rate comes down at the number on disability goes up. >> and this -- this number is increasing, the number of people going on the disability, it's increasing over the -- with the new president? >> at the moment, just over 5% of people 25 to 64 are on federal disability. that's up from 4%, the 4% range in 2006, 2007, early 2008 so you've had a substantial jump in the number going on. mainly for mental illness. >> is there

discrimination against persons with disabilities.itle two of the ada addresses access to public services, including public transportation for persons with disabilities. it requires transit operators to call out stops at transfer points, major intersections, and major destinations, and to announce particular stocks requested by customers with disabilities. stop announcements are especially important for passengers who are blind or have low vision. these individuals cannot travel independently if they are not assured of getting off at their intended destination point. because we have a great waste water system here in san francisco, we do about 80 million gallons of waste water here in san francisco, which means we basically fill up 120 olympic sized swimming pools each and every day here in the city. we protect public health and safety and environment because we are discharging into the bay and into the ocean. this is essentially the first treatment here at our waste water treatment facility. what we do is slow down the water so that

>> to what degree does disabled access apply to old multifamily residential buildings?> in door hardware i saw a building it's made accessible you have the latch knobs. >> goods question section of the california building -- [laughter] says specifically that the regulations for disabled access do not apply to existing residential building. anything not newly constructed and newly constructed is, a building that has not know used or occupied for any purpose much if you take a commercial building and convert it to residential it's not a newly constructed building and the disabled access rules would not apply. >> there are exceptions to what you just cited is where the disabled access code does not apply to existing buildings. and i think i'm afraid i must say it depends on the project we viewer you have at the building department as to whether or not it does apply also if it has public financing cht that's another factor. that's not something your audience is concerned about. but probably saw in a publicly pregnancied rehabilitation this upgrade. >> yeah. publicly finance
