    American citizens with disabilities began to join forces in the 1960’s. They all saw the same problem; disabled people were not treated equally. Disabled and non-disabled people nationwide began to band together for the common cause demanding equal treatment‚ equal access‚ and equal opportunity for all. Although this movement began in the 1960’s‚ nothing happened until 1990. In 1990‚ the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) expanded the freedoms and hopes of individuals with impairments through
