What will be an ideal response?


The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990, as amended by the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act (ADAAA) of 2008, is a federal statute that prohibits discrimination against disabled individuals in employment, public services, public accommodations and services, and telecommunications. Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act includes constructing ramps to accommodate wheelchairs, installing railings next to steps, placing signs written in Braille in elevators and at elevator call buttons, and so on. New construction must be built in such a manner as to be readily accessible to and usable by disabled individuals. Any alterations made to existing buildings must be made so that the altered portions of the building are readily accessible to disabled individuals to the maximum extent feasible. The ADA provides for both private right of action and enforcement by the attorney general.
