What is "Americans with Disabilities Act"?

Question

I have tried to look it up online. Maybe I'm not typing in the right thing, but it just keeps giving me sites where I have to click on more links. I'd figure it can be summed up in like a few sentences. Can anyone explain this law to me?

Answer 1

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) also guarantees access in places of businesses.  

Answer 2

It's a major federal civil rights law prohibiting discrimination against people with disabilities--in employment, by private businesses and by government entities.  You can find information here: http://www.ada.gov
