What is a Disability?

Jun 10, 2025
1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT

Overview

Understanding what disability means under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) can be tricky. People often have their own preconceptions of what disability means or may assume a definition for disability from laws other than the ADA. This webinar explores the definition of disability under the ADA, its interpretation, and where it applies under the law. It also discusses how the ADA’s definition of disability is often different from definitions used by service providers, federal programs, and advocates.
