The ADA is a civil rights law that went into effect in 1990. The ADA is intended to protect the civil rights of individuals with disabilities in all areas of life that are open to the general public. Individuals with disabilities must have the same rights as everyone else. Unfortunately, many businesses ignore or are unaware of their obligations under the ADA and individuals with disabilities must act as their own attorney general in protecting themselves against discrimination. The ADA provides protections to individuals in a similar fashion to those who are discriminated against on race, sex, age, national origin and religion. In 2009, the ADA was amended to broaden the definition of “disability” including the employment practices of private employers with 15 or more employees.
