American Disabilities Act (ADA)

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal law enacted in 1990 that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in various areas, including employment, public services, transportation, and access to public accommodations. It aims to ensure that people with disabilities have the same rights and opportunities as everyone else. The ADA requires businesses and government entities to provide reasonable accommodations to support individuals with disabilities and to remove barriers that limit their access to facilities and services. This law promotes inclusion and equal access, helping to create a more equitable society for people with disabilities.
