How the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 Continues to Fail the Deaf and Hard of Hearing

Over 30 years have gone by since President George H.W. Bush signed the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990. Since its passage, many Americans might find it difficult to imagine a world in which an individual with a disability is still denied equal access to day-to-day activities, opportunities, information, leisure activities, and communication. What might be even more difficult for people to imagine is a world where said person is also ineligible to be granted relief under the ADA. This, unfortunately, is the reality individuals in the Deaf and hard of hearing community continue to face today.
