The ADA is the acronym for the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, a civil rights law that prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities in all areas of public life, including employment, transportation, and education.

The ADA does not specifically mention the internet or websites; however, some courts have applied the ADA to websites. Per the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) interpretation of the ADA, all websites open to the public must be accessible to people with disabilities. As a result, website owners must make sure that people with hearing, vision, and other impairments can use their sites.
