Like their family, friends and neighbors, many people with disabilities want the opportunity to contribute to our communities. The 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) protects the civil rights of people with disabilities, providing an equal opportunity for employment for qualified individuals.

Still, today only 30 percent of people with severe disabilities are working. Whether you are an employer, a coworker or a person with a disability, you should know your rights under the ADA. Visit the U.S. Department of Labor Office of Disability Employment Policy Web site to learn more.
