ADA in 60 seconds

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a 1990 US federal civil rights law prohibiting discrimination against people with disabilities in employment, public services, transportation, and 'public accommodations' — a category that US courts and the DOJ have repeatedly interpreted to include websites and mobile apps.
