By the Disability.gov Team
In 27 days, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) will celebrate its 25th anniversary. The hard work of advocates, legislators and other founding men and women who had a hand in this historical piece of legislation will be recognized, in addition to the law itself. Their tireless efforts led to inclusion and accessibility for people with disabilities after years of discrimination.
The impact of the ADA can be seen in the lives it has changed throughout the past 25 years. This landmark legislation helps protect the rights of people with disabilities in five key areas: employment, state and local government facilities and services, public accommodations, telecommunications and transportation. The ADA not only protects people with disabilities from discrimination, but also allows them to fully participate in the workforce and their communities.
To celebrate this important anniversary, federal, state and local agencies and organizations throughout the country are hosting events and activities highlighting the ADA. The U.S. Department of Labor, for instance, is focusing on how the ADA has impacted employment with its Advancing Equal Access to Opportunity webpage. Featuring a timeline of disability and employment milestones, it takes a look back at the evolution of the ADA. The webpage also includes real-life stories from people with disabilities throughout the country about the impact the ADA has had on their lives and in their workplaces. Visit the webpage to share your own story!
