July marks the month that the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed in to law over 20 years ago. It opened lots of doors that previously were not open to people with disabilities. Years before starting this blog, I didn’t know the different ways the components of this law made my life easier.
In the first place, no one ever seems to talk about people such as Justin Dart and Ed Roberts. These individuals struggled tremendously and made the lives of people who are disabled better because they broke down many barriers that no one had even tried to attempt to touch before then.Â
Secondly, I know that the ADA is not a perfect law (in my opinion there is no one perfect law) but, the Americans with Disabilities Act helps people in a lot of ways. It does not grant any special favors because of the limitations we face on a daily basis, it just tries to make it more of an equal playing field for everyone.
What questions do you have about the ADA?
Thanks for reading…
