Today marks the 27th anniversary of the signing of the American with Disabilities Act (ADA). As an advocate for people with disabilities, I am honored to share a birthday with this revolutionary document that is valued with such a high importance in the disability community. The ADA was passed with the intent of bettering the lives' of people with disabilities. It was meant to create access and allow more job opportunities. The ADA did create huge improvements, but 27 years later, complete compliance is no where near to being met! We have a long way to go!
