The American Disability Act recognizes that people who have medical problems because they cannot walk, see, hear, or engage in other "major life activities" as well as the average person, are entitled to "reasonable accommodations" at work, unless the change poses an "undue hardship" on the employer. The 1990 American Disability Act is a wide-ranging civil rights law that prohibits discrimination based on disability. The American Disability Act history begins on July 26, 1990 when the disability act was signed into law.
