LBB is excited to celebrate 33 years today of the Americans with Disabilities Act! This Act prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life, including jobs, schools, transportation, and all public and private places open to the public. The law was created to ensure people with disabilities have all of the same rights and opportunities as everyone else! To be protected by ADA, one must have a disability, which is defined by the ADA as a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, a person who has a history or record of such an impairment, or a person who is perceived by others as having such an impairment. To learn more about ADA, guidance and resources, laws, regulations, and standards, enforcement, file a complaint, and featured topics, visit their website at https://www.ada.gov. #seeingindependence #ADA #ADA33 #AmericansWithDisabilitiesAct

We are so proud of our LBB team for making this happen! #seeingindependence
