ADA and You

• Do you know your rights under the Americans with
  Disabilities Act (ADA)?
• The ADA prohibits discrimination on the basis of
  disability in employment, State and local
  government, public accommodations, commercial
  facilities, transportation, and
  telecommunications. It also applies to the United
  States Congress.
• The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a
  Federal civil rights law that prohibits the
  exclusion of people with disabilities from
  everyday activities, such as buying an item at
  the store, watching a movie in a theater,
  enjoying a meal at a local restaurant, exercising
  at the local health club or having the car
  serviced at a local garage. To meet the goals of
  the ADA, the law established requirements for
  private businesses of all sizes. These
  requirements first went into effect on January
  26, 1992, and continue for both for-profit and
  non-profit organizations.
