Today we celebrate the 27th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). On July 26, 1990, the landmark civil rights legislation was signed into law by President George H.W. Bush. Throughout the past 27 years, our country has advanced the rights, accessibility, and inclusion of individuals. However, there is always more work to be done to reach full integration in the community and access to necessary supports and services.
I spent this week at The Arc’s NCE Summer Leadership Institute learning and exchanging ideas with leaders of the disability community from across the country. The conference was full of sessions about improving employment, implementing supported decision-making, achieving fully person-centered processes, and more. The aging and disability community has many people fighting for these rights through changes in legislation, restructuring of frameworks in agencies, and raising awareness. As a country, we need to unite together to continue to improve and that requires bringing people with disabilities into the conversations as we all continue our work.
