SAIL (Southern Adirondack Independent Living), a local organization that serves people with disabilities with offices in Queensbury and Ballston Spa, is recognizing the 30th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
\nThe landmark legislation was signed into law by George H. W. Bush on July 26, 1990. It was modeled after the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and mandates that people with physical or mental disabilities have the same rights as others to employment opportunities, to purchase goods and services, and to participate in state and local programs and services.
\nSpecifically, ADA Title III covers public areas, like schooling and transportation, and \u201cpublic accommodations\u201d that also include businesses, restaurants, hotels, theaters, doctors\u2019 offices, pharmacies, retail stores, museums, libraries, parks, daycare centers, and places of work.
\nAs part of the ADA requirements, employers have to provide accommodations so employees with disabilities are able to do their jobs.
\nSAIL works to continually promote the spirit of the ADA and to ensure that the community adheres to the requirements. SAIL can assist people with disabilities in determining various programs and services that are available throughout the region.
