I agree that this is a major issue, and would note that the Los Angeles Orthodox Community, supported by the Council on Jewish Life, has supported a model program to enhance the accessability of synagogue functions to disabled youth, not only through physical planning, but also through raising the awareness of the community to the existence of the problem. It's a wonderful program and, as I understand it, is being implemented permanently in most of the synangogues which have experienced it.
