THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT IS ENTERING ITS FOURTH DECADE

THAT’S A MAJOR NEWS STORY

This is a problem and I worry that our national discussion about leveling the playing field for all — rarely if ever focuses on harrowing gaps in equity faced by people with disabilities.

I am urging journalists to be aware of this lack in coverage. 

When the 30th anniversary of unique legislation to protect civil rights of people with disabilities took place in 2020, the lack of coverage was glaring.
