As we mark the 34th anniversary of the passing of the Americans with Disabilities Act, we reflect on the progress we have made and the work that still lies ahead. Inclusion and accessibility are not just legal requirements — they are moral imperatives. Every day, we have the chance to contribute to a culture of respect, understanding and support for people of all abilities.
