As much as the design standards of the American with Disabilities Act caused headaches for me when I did store design, I have always appreciated it's impact in creating accessibility for all. More so these days as the circle of individuals I know with a disability has expanded over the last seven years. In my prior position within Goodwill Columbus working with, and teaching vocational jobs skills, to adults with I/DD, it was important to know how many different job adaptations are protected by the ADA. Loved helping individuals learn how to advocate and increase their independence in today's workforce.
Today, we celebrate the 34th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (#ADA). Signed into law by President George H.W. Bush in 1990, the ADA vigorously protects the civil rights of people with disabilities by criminalizing discrimination based on a disability and guaranteeing equal access to public buildings and businesses, employment opportunities, transportation, telecommunications, commercial facilities, and state and local government services, according to the United States Census Bureau. Did you know that in 2022, there were 44.1 million noninstitutionalized Americans with a disability? One of the core populations served by Goodwill of Greater Washington (GGW) includes individuals with differing abilities. GGW participates in the U.S. AbilityOne Commission program, which provides job opportunities to individuals with severe disabilities. #ADA #Goodwill #DCGoodwill #MissionMoment #DisabilityInclusion #ADAAnniversary #Nonprofit #Local #Community #AbilityOne
