The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a civil rights law enacted in 1990 that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities. It ensures that people with disabilities have the same rights and opportunities as everyone else in areas such as employment, public accommodations, transportation, and telecommunications. The ADA is divided into five titles, each addressing different aspects of public life. For example, Title I focuses on employment, requiring employers to provide reasonable accommodations for employees with disabilities. Overall, the ADA aims to create a more inclusive society by promoting accessibility and equal treatment for all individuals.
