Justice Cannot Be Blind to Invisible Disabilities

Judges are making medical determinations without proper evaluations, overshadowing federal law. This systemic failure calls for reforms including empowered ADA coordinators, necessary written responses, independent oversight, and better judicial training to honor ADA rights effectively.
