“Really, the state of disability accommodation in America shows the limitations of even legislating law. Even the most common and basic accommodations, like “ramps to first-floor entrances”, “braille on bathroom signs” and “signs and menus with easily readable text” are often unavailable, and in many cases accommodations are theoretically available but you have to ask and they’ll be provided in a way that foregrounds your disability for an audience of strangers, who may treat you kindly but will almost certainly not be thinking of you with respect.”
