Disability and Inequality
<p>The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed 30 years ago, transforming America both physically and ideologically. The ADA required offices and schools to have ramps, elevators, and designated parking spots for individuals with disabilities. In addition to requiring cities to introduce curb cutouts, the law required accommodations for people with a range of disabilities, including those who are blind or deaf. The ADA also provided wording that <a href="https://www.nationalgeographic.com/history/article/americans-disabilities-act-transformed-united-states" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">180 other countries</a> adopted for disability legislation.</p>
<p>The ADA improved lives for millions of Americans. 84% of respondents to a <a href="http://southwestada.org/html/publications/general/20150715%20ADA%20Impact%20Narrative%20(Rev-Final%20v2).pdf" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">University of Texas study</a> said the ADA improved their quality of life, and 57% said the ADA improved their access to public resources.</p>
