-The Americans with Disabilities act is a federal civil rights law for people with disabilities, comparable to civil rights law passed in the 1960s for other minorities.
-The act covers state and local government services,employments, telecommunication for the deaf, and public accommodations. It is estimated that about 43 million Americans are living with physical or mental disabilities.
-Under the act, businesses and governments are required to make accommodations for persons who are legally disabled. therefore failure to provide access and amenities in public places for person with disabilities is among the violations of the act.
