Disability History: The ADA Amendments Act of 2008 is passed, September 25, 2008. ⚖️

In 1999, a series of Supreme Court cases known as the “Sutton Trilogy” significantly narrowed the definition of disability under the ADA, essentially establishing that people who use medication or devices to manage their disability were not “disabled enough” to benefit from the protections of the ADA.

To remedy this, the ADA Amendments Act of 2008 formally rejected these rulings and restored broad coverage. The act was influenced by advocacy from groups as influential as AAPD, the Epilepsy Foundation, and the National Council on Independent Living.

Because of this act’s passage, EVERY person with a disability can remain protected by the provisions in the ADA, as was intended by its writers and advocates.

👁️ Drivers: Scan crosswalks and stay focused — put the phone away.
👟 Pedestrians: Stay visible, use crosswalks and look both ways before stepping off the curb.
