About the Americans with Disabilities Act
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a landmark civil rights law enacted in 1990 that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in various aspects of public life.
Its primary aim is to ensure that people with disabilities have the same rights and opportunities as everyone else. The ADA covers employment, public services, public accommodations, transportation, and telecommunications.
It requires reasonable accommodations and accessibility measures that help provide equal access and participation for people with disabilities.
