Awareness Month

The American Disabilities Act is celebrating its 32nd anniversary!

This law, commonly referred to as the ADA, was enacted in 1990 to protect the civil rights of people with disabilities. 

We want to remind everyone of the importance of fighting for rights in our community and how the ADA has changed our world thus far. As we continue to work to remove barriers and improve equality in our society, we thank our families and stakeholders for your advocacy work and are excited to see what the future holds.
