"It [ADA] has changed the basic societal perception and expectations of the role of people with disabilities in America... to enable the fullest practicable participation of this segment of the population."
Professor Robert Burgdorf, Personal Interview - March 6, 2013

Impact

The ADA profoundly impacted the nation: breaking social barriers, integrating the disabled into society, and thereby improving their economic status. This law ignited a chain reaction, influencing changes in disability rights around the world.

"The ADA provides civil rights protection to individuals with disabilities." 
ADA National Network - June 17, 2010
