Today marks the 36th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), a civil rights law that protects the rights of people with disabilities in all areas of life.

According to 2022 data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 1 in 4 U.S. adults have some type of disability. This number continues to grow due to increases in noncommunicable diseases and people living longer, which may increase the likelihood of experiencing disability related to aging.

U.S. Census Bureau data shows that 10.5 million U.S. adults with disabilities were employed in 2024. Data from the Social Security Administration (SSA) shows that 1 in 4 workers who were age 20 in 2022 are expected to become disabled before reaching retirement age.

Disability is part of being human and is integral to the human experience. People with disabilities are a diverse group, and disability intersects with factors such as s*x, age, religion, race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status. Disability impacts all of us, and anyone can experience a disability at some point in life.

As the ADA turns 36 today, let’s use this milestone to increase awareness of disability and continue learning about the law that protects the rights of people with disabilities. We started our ADA Anniversary social media campaign last month, sharing different resources related to disability and the ADA every week. We compiled this information into a list of resources for you to access and share.

Share this information, and help us increase awareness of the ADA!

Happy 36th Anniversary to the ADA! Happy 35th Anniversary to the Great Lakes ADA Center!
