Organizations across federal government and the disability community have shared many great resources, blogs, and fact sheets to celebrate the 32nd anniversary of the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act. We're compiling them on our 2022 ADA anniversary page, but we thought we'd share some of the highlights in case you missed them. 

On July 26, 1990, the Americans with Disabilities Act was signed into law; this landmark civil rights law affirmed the inherent dignity of every person, regardless of disability. The ADA prohibits discrimination by local and state governments, provides standards for privately owned businesses and commercial facilities, stands against discrimination in the workplace, and ensures equal access to healthcare, social services, transportation, and telecommunications.
