The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is federal legislation that extends civil rights protections to individuals with disabilities, prohibiting discrimination by child care and after-school care providers against children with special needs. Both privately owned and publicly operated child care programs are affected by the public accommodations sections as well as the employment provisions. For more information, call the ADA Information Line at 800/514-0301 (voice); 800/514-0383 (TDD) or go to www.ada.
