Thirty-four years ago on July 26, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into law. In honor of the historic event, the Department of Rehabilitation has launched a new video series, ADA Conversations: ADA Allies. The series features conversations between an individual with a disability and someone who has been an ally to them on their disability journey. The discussions also include the impact of the ADA on the lives of both the ally and the individual with a disability. To watch the first video in the series, a conversation between DOR Deputy Director Kim Rutledge and her mother, Rita Rutledge, click on the link: https://bit.ly/3Ychm1r #ADAAnniversary #ADA34 #DisabilityPride
