The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a civil rights law enacted in 1990 that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities. It aims to ensure that people with disabilities have the same rights and opportunities as everyone else in areas such as employment, public services, and transportation. The ADA covers a wide range of disabilities, including physical, mental, and sensory impairments. The ADA is divided into five titles, each addressing different aspects of public life. For example, Title I focuses on employment, while Title II covers public services and transportation. The law also mandates accessible facilities and accommodations, promoting inclusion and equal access for individuals with disabilities in society.
