This Sunday, July 26, marks the 36th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), a landmark civil rights law that expanded protections and opportunities for people with disabilities.

As we recognize this milestone, we celebrate the progress made while remaining committed to advancing accessibility, language equity, and high-quality ASL education for all.

Happy 36th Anniversary, ADA! 💙
