Thanks to the ADA, people with disabilities are able to enjoy access to buildings and places that were previously inaccessible to them, improving their quality of life and levels of independence.

Thanks to the ADA, modifications that offer access to all types of media are available for people with disabilities so they may take full advantage of information, education, entertainment and simple one-on-one communication with others.

The ADA makes it a violation of federal law to discriminate against people with disabilities. This landmark civil rights legislation cracked open doors to services and employment opportunities for those with disabilities. It was “…intended to eliminate illegal discrimination and level the playing field for disabled individuals.”

Thanks to the ADA, people with disabilities–who possess a multitude of other abilities–have equal access to finding the independence and self-worth afforded by employment.

MCD is committed to continuing the conversation on how the ADA works. We provide training, technical assistance and work with our partners to develop public policy that upholds this landmark civil rights law that leveled the playing field for people with disabilities. Starting today, until the 1st week in August, MCD will highlight some areas of life made more accessible “Thanks to the ADA.” We will also celebrate by sharing with you some new and past segments of “Keep Moving Forward.”
