💨 Abstract

Signed into law in 1990, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities, enhancing accessibility and inclusion. Ann Deschamps, director of the Mid-Atlantic ADA Center, highlights the act's impact, noting that one in four people have a disability. However, she emphasizes ongoing challenges, particularly in educating the public about the law and addressing attitudinal barriers.
