ADA -20 years

Thanks to the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act, 20 years ago, we have made great strides in the areas of employment, public entities and accessibility for people with disabilities. There is still a need to help children with disabilities have more participation in daily activities with their peers. Allowing children to participate more can prevent feeling of isolation and also teach all children valuable skills for employment and social activities. Participation in sports is a wonderful opportunity to help build confidence. Two organizations that are particularly helpful are the Special Olympics organization(www.specialolympics.org) and the National Disability Sports Alliance (www.blazesports.org).
