The ADA provides safeguards against employment discrimination, as well as improved access to products, services, and services for people with disabilities.

The ADA's centennial is commemorated on the ADA's anniversary, but it also serves several other functions. The law first cracked down barriers people with disabilities faced every day, including those with disabilities. It also marked a point of change that was not immediately apparent. Over time, common barriers such as narrow doors and small bathroom stalls became available to wheelchairs. Braille signs and crosswalks for the vision impaired are two other examples. The changes improved mobility and security.

The act prompted designers to innovate technology in lieu of structural changes. Often, physical limitations restrict a person's ability to obtain legal or health information. New assistive technologies make it possible to obtain the required details.
