Accommodations are very important in the world of people with disabilities.
The assimilation you talk about is not possible without a level playing field.
Only people who have the same opportunities can be 'part' of a society.
A man in a wheelchair will need ramps (an accommodation) in order to do a job that will allow him to be a tax paying citizen (assimilation).
We all have things, some more apparent then others, that make it necessary to have some accommodations.
These come in many forms like language, enlarged print, medications, bus service, curb cuts, etc.
America is a better place for recognizing the need for those accommodations.
