The Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act (ADAAA)

The Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act (ADAAA) is a law that broadens the definition of what qualifies as a disability. It makes it easier for people with various health conditions or impairments to be recognized as disabled under the law, ensuring they receive protections and accommodations at work, in housing, and in public services. The goal is to promote inclusion and equal opportunity by clarifying that even less obvious or temporary conditions can be considered disabilities, as long as they substantially limit one or more major life activities.
