The first National Disability Policy Summit in Washington, D.C. kicked off today, the 20th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, hosted by the National Council on Disability (NCD) and its partners. The landmark Act became law on July 26, 1990, signed by then President George H. W. Bush. ADA, you've come a long way, baby, but much work remains.

The ADA law has brough equality to people with disabilities. It has given the opportunity to people with disabilities to work, enjoy entertainment, and go to school with the correct accomodations. Of course there has been cases of violations of this law but at this point in our society there are people with disabilities that are speaking up.
