The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a law that protects the rights of people with disabilities. The disability community fought hard to get the ADA passed into law, and we continue to fight hard to protect it. This year, we’re celebrating the 30th anniversary of the ADA becoming the law of the land. As part of our #ADA30 celebrations, we’re pleased to announce our new plain-language resource, “ A Self-Advocate’s Guide to the Americans with Disabilities Act. [[link removed]] ”

Our new toolkit, which is available in Easy Read and Plain Language formats, explains what the ADA is and why it’s so important. This toolkit answers many important questions about the ADA, such as:

*
Why
was
the
ADA
made?
*
What
are
my
rights
from
the
ADA?
*
Why
are
those
rights
important?
*
How
can
I
make
sure
I
get
my
ADA
rights?
*
How
can
I
help
protect
the
ADA?

The Americans with Disabilities Act was a landmark piece of legislation that paved the way for much of the advocacy work we do today. This toolkit can help self-advocates fully understand the impact of this law and why—even as we celebrate #ADA30—the fight isn’t over.
