Customers with Disabilities’ training for airline crew

My airline has captains operating to the US undergo a course for handling customers with disabilities, apparently it is a requirement from the US DOT. What is covered is not only physical handling but also discrimination.

Since I have little contact with passengers other than the occasional walk in the cabin to say hello, I think this is a bit over the top. I was wondering if this training is required of US airline crews.
