Disabilities Act

The Disabilities Act, specifically the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), is a law that protects people with disabilities from discrimination in areas like employment, public services, transportation, and public places. It requires businesses and government entities to provide reasonable accommodations to ensure access and equal opportunities. This might include things like ramps, elevators, modified work schedules, or accessible communication. The goal is to promote independence and inclusion by removing barriers that prevent people with disabilities from fully participating in society.
