Do you know anyone who uses a wheelchair? Or maybe you have a friend who is blind or can’t hear.

If so, then you know that a disability can make certain activities more challenging for these individuals, but they should never be treated unfairly.

For many years, people with disabilities were excluded from schools, jobs and even restaurants.

Since the passage of this law, equality for persons with disabilities has become the norm throughout the United States.
