What is the disability act?
Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990In short, the "disability act" (i.e. The "Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990", or "ADA") is law prohibiting discrimination based on physical or mental disability. It also sets forth certain requirements for building standards, hiring practices, workplace accommodations, and a host of other standards and legal requirements aimed at protecting the rights of the disabled.For a comprehensive look at what the ADA is all about, visit the ADA website (link below).As an American personally affected by disability, the ADA has been invaluable to me. It helps keep landlords in check (e.g. in making "reasonable accommodations" such as grab bars in a bathroom), as well as making public places more accessible (e.g. wheelchair cutouts in sidewalks), and a number of other protections that make life with severe physical limitations a little easier to bear.Changes in the law come from time to time, so be sure to bookmark the ADA website, and you might find it helpful to subscribe to email updates at disability.gov (link also below).
