American with Disabilities Act (ADA)

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a U.S. law enacted in 1990 that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in various areas, including employment, public services, public accommodations, and telecommunications. It aims to ensure that people with disabilities have the same rights and opportunities as everyone else. This law requires employers and businesses to provide reasonable accommodations and make facilities accessible, promoting inclusion and equal participation in society for individuals with physical and mental disabilities. The ADA represents a significant commitment to civil rights for people with disabilities in America.
