Discuss how PL 110-325 (The Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments of 2008) significantly changed the ADA.
What will be an ideal response?
Ans: The ADAA revises the definition of a disability in favor of a broader interpretation, thereby extending protections to greater numbers of individuals. It expressly overturns two Supreme Court decisions that had previously limited the meaning of the term disability. ADAA expands the definition of “major life activities” by including two noninclusive lists, the first of which includes activities such as reading, concentrating, and thinking. The second list includes major bodily functions such as functions of the immune system or neurological functioning.
