About us
About the National Council on Disability (NCD): NCD became an independent federal agency in 1984. In 1986, NCD recommended enactment of an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and drafted the first version of the bill which was introduced in the House and Senate in 1988. Since enactment of the ADA in 1990, NCD has continued to play a leading role in crafting disability policy, and advising the President, Congress and other federal agencies on disability policies, programs, and practices.

This week as the ADA turns 34, we take stock of its goal to advance equality of opportunity in light of significant disability policy developments since the 33rd anniversary, like the NIH designation of PWDs as a health disparity population and the Rehabilitation Act’s Section 504 disability nondiscrimination update. The work continues. Lead on! #ADA34. https://lnkd.in/e_arBSGY https://lnkd.in/gh69GZRr
