20 years ago life with ANY disability was incredibly difficult.

Imagine having to use your wheelchair in the street because there are no curb cuts to allow you onto the sidewalk.

Imagine trying to use this website if you have a visual impairment.

Imagine trying to order takeout when you can’t hear the person on the other end of the phone.

Imagine applying for a job if you have a developmental disability.

Imagine climbing 20-plus steps to enter a building if you have arthritis in your knees.

The Americans with Disabilities Act has changed the lives of the more than 50 million Americans with disabilities.

You may not have a disability now.
