The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) provides comprehensive civil rights protections to individuals with disabilities in the areas of employment, state and local government services, public accommodations, and telecommunications. Congress intended the ADA to keep pace with the rapidly changing technology of the times while addressing the “major areas of discrimination faced day-to-day by people with disabilities.” 42 U.S.C. § 12101(b). An individual with a disability is a person who has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits major life activities; has a record of such an impairment; or is regarded as having such an impairment. Major life activities are functions such as caring for oneself, performing manual tasks, walking, seeing, hearing, speaking, breathing, learning, and working.
