What is the ADA? The
ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) is a civil rights act designed
to protect people with disabilities from discrimination in the areas
of employment, access to public services and programs, access to
places of public accommodation and telecommunication. The ADA is not
an affirmative action law but is intended to give people with
disabilities an equal opportunity to participate in all aspects of
community life.
