What I Accomplished Today...

Today, I wanted to understand about ADA.

What I Learned Today...

Since July 26 1990, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) has transformed American Society. 

It created a legal structure to allow people with disabilities to have the same opportunities as everyone.

  • Employment opportunities
  • Public accommodation
  • Purchase of goods and services
  • Participate in local and state government programs
  • Telecommunications.

Scope of ADA:

·        ADA Covers the physical accessibility of public buildings, schools and public services.

·        ADA Also covers polling places for voting or medical care, as well as places of public accommodations.

·        ADA also prohibits discrimination in employment including the hiring practices of private sector businesses.

·        ADA importantly also covers the websites of public accommodations and state and local governments. This includes online shopping, booking a hotel room, ordering online food as well as access to online programs and services - Accessible Design.

‍
Failure to comply with the ADA, including the ADA Accessible Design law, may result in the non-complying business incurring hefty penalties imposed by the government.

The house comes with like kitchen, living room, bed room, fans, geysers etc.. It also contains who resides and what is the contractual period, obligation (money) etc.. Here, Owner is the Server and Tenant is Client.                                         Client-Server Architecture.
