Americans with Disabilities Act The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was passed in 1990 and states that people cannot be discriminated on the basis of a disability. There are five parts to the ADA, which includes laws concerning employment, public entities, public accommodations, telecommunications, and miscellaneous provisions. To find more information about the ADA visit the U.S. Department of Justice's website by clicking on this description's heading, "Americans with Disabilities Act." Another good resource is the National Association of the Deaf, which has a thorough summary of the ADA and information on how to file complaints about ADA violations. Visit the NAD's website here.
