1. It designates people with disabilities as a protected class in order to protect them legally from discrimination.

2. It ensures that spaces that are open to the public are built to be accessible to people with disabilities.

3. It mandates that communication services, like telephones and websites, are accessible to people with hearing and vision disabilities.

We'll continue to advocate for greater support for people with cerebral palsy at the federal level, and we're grateful to the advocates who fought so passionately for these foundational disability rights.
