Recognition & Advocacy

35th Anniversary of the ADA

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), signed into law in 1990 by President Bush, marked a significant turning point in the disability rights movement. The ADA serves as a landmark piece of civil rights legislation, ensuring that people with disabilities have equal access, opportunities, and protection under the law.

Over the past three and a half decades, the ADA has advanced inclusion efforts like accessible transportation, inclusive education, and employment protections, contributing significantly to greater independence and a flourishing society.

Governor’s Proclamation
Governor Greg Abbott issued an official proclamation commemorating the 35th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act on July 26, 2025. As a person with a disability himself, Governor Abbott emphasized that “disability does not define who we are as human beings.”

"It is not our challenges that define us, but rather how we rise above them."
