What is the American Disability Act (ADA)?
No individual shall be discriminated against on the basis of disability in the full and equal enjoyment of the goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, and accommodations of any place of public accommodation.” The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Public Law 101-336, is the most comprehensive law ever enacted by the federal government addressing the civil rights of persons with disabilities. Generally, the ADA prohibits employers, organizations and businesses from excluding people from jobs, services, leisure activities and benefits because of a disability. The ADA eliminates barriers to productivity, independence and participation in community life.
