Y1 - 2013 N1 - T2 - The Rehabilitation Specialist's Handbook, 4e AB - The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA; Pub L. No. 101-336) is a federal anti-discrimination statute designed to prohibit discrimination on the basis of disability. The ADA gives civil rights protections to individuals with disabilities similar to those protections provided to individuals on the basis of race, color, sex, national origin, age, and religion. It guarantees equal opportunity for individuals with disabilities in employment (Title I), state and local government services (Title II), public accommodations (Title III), telecommunications (Title IV), and transportation (Title V). The ADA was later amended (effective January 1, 2009) by the ADA Amendments Act of 2008. Revised ADA regulations implementing Titles II and III are earmarked to take effect on March 15, 2011, including revisions to the ADA Standards for Accessibility Designs.
