W. Bush. The ADA is a comprehensive civil rights law that prohibits discrimination based on disability in all areas of public life, including jobs, schools, transportation, and all public and private places that are open to the public. The purpose of the law is to insure that people with disabilities have the same opportunities as everyone else. The ADA gives civil rights protections to individuals with disabilities similar to those provided to individuals on the basis of race, color, sex, national origin, age, and religion. It guarantees equal opportunity for individuals with disabilities in public accommodations, employment, transportation, state and local government services, and telecommunications.<br><br>There are five <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ada-dcc.org\/dev\/new-titles-dev\/\">Titles<\/a> within the&nbsp;ADA&nbsp;that cover they are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"has-nv-light-bg-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-block-list wp-elements-cddfb99ad7552614420e5c21c520b45d\">\n<li>Title I: Employment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Title II: State &amp; Local Governments<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Title III: Places of Public Accommodations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Title IV: Telecommunications<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Title V: Miscellaneous Provisions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html lang=\"en\">\n<head>\n    <meta charset=\"UTF-8\">\n    <meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0\">\n    <link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https:\/\/cdnjs.cloudflare.com\/ajax\/libs\/font-awesome\/6.0.0-beta3\/css\/all.min.css\">\n<\/head>\n<body>\n    <div class=\"custom-block fact-sheets\">\n<div class=\"header\">Fact Sheets<\/div>\n        <ul style=\"color: white;\"><li>\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/adata.org\/factsheet\/ADA-overview\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\n                An Overview of the Americans With Disabilities Act \n            <\/a>\n        <\/li><\/ul>\n    <\/div>  \n<\/body>\n<\/html>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide has-nv-light-bg-background-color has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"border-radius:20px\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column has-neve-link-hover-color-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-44fbd34f3a50f92fbb4d34953dd4b099 is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"padding-right:0;padding-left:0\">\n<p class=\"has-neve-link-hover-color-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-eb49ffdf5ad8dde4339517030a99362f\">Several federal agencies have responsibility for rulemaking and enforcement.
