Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) Of 1990

In 1990 President George Bush signed into law the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990, this act was covered under the civil rights legislation that protected against discrimination and ensured that people with disabilities are given the same right as anyone without a disability. People covered under the Americans with Disabilities Act must either be physically or mentally incapable of doing things, which limited their life activities. According to Patsie Frawley and Bronwyn Naylor (2014), “disabilities should be treated as equally entitled to make decisions about their own care and living arrangements, with whatever support is needed” (p.64).
