PL 93-112 the Rehab Act of 1973 did what?

• A. Created new schools for the Deaf
• B. Regulated sign language interpretation
• C. Decreased funding for accessibility
• D. Gave rights to people with disabilities in any agency that receive federal funding

Answer: (D)

The question is testing what PL 93-112, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, achieved in terms of rights and accessibility. It established that programs and activities that receive federal funds cannot discriminate against people with disabilities and must provide reasonable accommodations so they can participate. That foundation means rights are extended to individuals with disabilities in any agency or program that receives federal funding. It’s not about creating Deaf schools, regulating sign language interpretation specifically, or cutting funding. Instead, it set nondiscrimination and accessibility requirements that apply to federally funded entities, laying the groundwork for broader access initiatives, including the need for interpreters or other accommodations when requested.
