The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was passed on July 26, 1990, signed into law by President George H.W. Bush on the South Lawn of the White House. Easterseals Nebraska played a crucial role in advocating for and supporting the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in 1990. They actively lobbied for the legislation in Washington D.C. and across the country, raising awareness, and building support for the rights of people with disabilities. Easterseals also spearheaded impactful public service campaigns to promote the ADA's goals and ensure its effective implementation. Thirty-five years after its passage, we can see how the Americans with Disabilities Act has done far more than create compliance requirements. The ADA fundamentally transformed how we think about and develop assistive technology, turning what was once a niche specialty into innovations that benefit us all. VNA proudly collaborates with Easterseals Nebraska to ensure expert guidance and compassionate care are accessible to everyone – no matter their age, income, or ability.
