ADA is just the stepping stone
More than three decades ago the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) became law. At the time, it was groundbreaking, ushering in an era in which accessible restrooms, wheelchair ramps for public facilities, curb cuts, and other means of accommodation were mandated.
But ADA can only mandate so much, and advocates for those with physical and developmental challenges are quick to note that ADA is only a baseline. To truly create an open and welcoming society, more action must be taken.
