Celebrating 34 Years of the Americans with Disabilities Act
As we mark the 34th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), it's important to reflect on the impact this landmark legislation has had on millions of lives. The ADA came into existence on July 26, 1990, as a comprehensive civil rights law that prohibits discrimination based on disability. Its goal is to ensure that people with disabilities have the same rights and opportunities as everyone else. From ADA-compliant ramps to employment protections, this legislation has had broad benefits.
