The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) celebrates its 34th anniversary on July 26, 2024. This landmark and transformative legislation guarantees that people with disabilities have the same opportunities regarding employment, access to public services, public telecommunications, and accommodations as everyone else.
Signed into law on July 26, 1990, by President George H.W. Bush, the ADA protects people with disabilities from discrimination and advances equality for all.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is composed of five major titles--each title addresses different areas of public life where discrimination against individuals with disabilities can occur. Here are the major areas or titles of the ADA:
I. Employment
II. Public Services
III. Public Accommodations and Services Offered by Private Entities
IV. Telecommunications
V. Miscellaneous Provisions
