Part III of the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) has turned into one of those pieces of legislation that generates understanding of what it actually is in inverse proportion to the amount of press coverage it generates.
To some extent, this is down to bandwagon-jumping by commercial interests who inadvertently (or otherwise) tend to obscure the real implications of the legislation. In part, it is also down to a series of often well-meaning misperceptions and stereotypes, particularly around what we mean by disability.
