36 years ago, one signature changed the lives of millions. On July 26, 1990, the Americans with Disabilities Act was signed on the White House lawn in front of over 3,000 people, telling employers that a disability is not a barrier to equal employment. Today, more than 1 in 4 American adults lives with a disability. That is over 70 million people, and the law protects their right to a reasonable accommodation at work.

# Viral In 1990, the Americans with Disabilities Act stalled in Congress. To protest, over 60 activists cast aside their wheelchairs and began crawling up the 83 stone steps of the U.S. Capitol. This "Capitol Crawl" forced the world to see the physical barriers they faced daily. Moved by their grit, President Bush signed the landmark civil rights law weeks later. | Tales Of Past

A recently released Justice Department memo questions decades of protections for Americans with disabilities. The effort is the latest by the Trump administration to shift longstanding practices for the disability community. The memo is one of several attempts to change services and policies dedicated to people with disabilities. The DOJ says states aren't required to provide home and community-based services that have long kept disabled Americans out of institutions if they would benefit from t

Under Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), if you feel that you need an interpreter in order to understand what your doctor/health care provider is telling you, then the doctor/health care provider is required to provide you with one.

It wasn’t until 1973 with the Rehabilitation Act (section 504) and then 1990 with the Americans with Disability Act that individuals with disabilities were protected by federal laws. Even with these laws, we are still heavily mistreated, neglected, and misunderstood, leaving us in a constant state of fight or flight throughout our lives. #autistic #autism
