Submission project

As the 21st anniversary of the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act is upon us this July, many may reflect on what this monumental legislation means and how it affects us all—for people with and without disabilities. What have you noticed since the signing? What has changed? What hasn’t? So we pose this question.

We want to know :
