ADA Restoration Act...why is it important?

Make ADA stronger for people with disabilities

Defining what 'disability' and 'people with disabilities' mean.....

No discrimination - how?
Employment - Service Provision - Owning the American Dream - Education - Accessibility -

IMPORTANT: Equal Rights as a Human Being with or without a disability, we're all Americans.

Five Things YOU CAN DO to keep ADA STRONG!!!

  1. SIGN THE PETITION on the Road to Freedom Site.
  2. Contact the Congress: tell them your story, what you see positive about ADA, what improvements you want to see happen and more...
  3. Sign up for News and Alerts from the Road to Freedom.
  4. Join your local or state organizations - for example: Indiana Association of the Deaf, American Association of People with Disabilities, American Association for Retired People, Indiana Deaf-Blind Association, Northwest Indiana Deaf Club, Northwest Indiana Hearing Loss Support Group, National Federation of the Blind and more....
  5. Donate to ADA Watch and National Coalition for Disability Rights (NCDR) (website).
