ADA National Network’s Post

July marks the 34th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)! The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) became law in 1990. The ADA is a civil rights law that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in many areas of public life, including jobs, schools, transportation, and many public and private places that are open to the general public. The purpose of the law is to make sure that people with disabilities have the same rights and opportunities as everyone else. As we celebrate 34 years of the ADA, we encourage you to share your stories of how the ADA has impacted your life using #ThanksToTheADA! #ADA #ADA34 #Disability
