Americans with Disabilities

Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)

 I wanted to write about something that would help everyone. Today’s subject that begins with the letter “A” is the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). According to the United States of Department of Labor (2013), the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibits anyone to discriminate against people who have disabilities in employment, transportation, public accommodation, communications, and governmental activities.

ADA has their own website where you can find all the information that you are looking for from new or proposed regulations, status reports, technical assistance programs, and the ADA information line. You can even sign up for email updates to be sent to you when there is new ADA information available.

You can never be over informed about your rights. If you know of anyone who is having difficulties with being discriminated because of their disabilities, give them this information so they can contact ADA for help.
