It essentially protects citizens with physical disabilities, intellectual disabilities, sensory disabilities, and mental health disabilities. It mandates local, state, and federal governments and programs to be easily accessible. Companies are required to provide reasonable accommodations for disabled workers. Many restaurants and stores are required to provide reasonable modifications to ensure accessibility. Also, the ADA mandates accessible public transportation and communication.
