How to comply with the Americans with disabilities act

Abstract

The legal and political roots of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) owe themselves to the civil rights era of the 1960s, which passed the Civil Rights Act in 1964, the Voting Rights Act in 1965 and the Architectural Barriers Act of 1968, and to the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. From the 1970s to the 1990s, activism among the disabled became increasingly visible. In 1986, congress passed the Air Carriers Act, which addressed the rights of the disabled when using air transportation. Later in 1988, the Civil Rights Restoration Act was passed along with the Fair Housing Amendments Act (Historical, 2003).
