The Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) was signed into law on July 26, 1990. It is the United States’ most comprehensive pieces of civil rights legislation. The ADA prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities and ensures that they are given the same opportunities as a person without disabilities to live, work, and participate in the community.
