35th ADA Anniversary Help Us Measure The Impact

Mid-Atlantic ADA Center logo

Did you know that this July 26th marks the 35th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990—a landmark civil rights law that continues to shape access and equity in everyday life?

While progress has been made, the need to understand the ADA’s ongoing impact—and the barriers that still exist— is more urgent than ever.

We invite you to take part in a brief, anonymous survey, a product of the Southwest ADA Center, to help us assess how far we’ve come and how far we still need to go. The survey results will be used to inform and guide technical assistance and policy recommendations related to the ADA.

Participate TODAY in this SURVEY before it’s too late!

Survey closes on May 31, 2025.
