From Drafting the ADA to Today
NCD has a proud history. In 1986, NCD recommended enactment of an
Americans with Disabilities Act, and then drafted the first
version of the bill introduced in the House and Senate in 1988.
Since enactment of the ADA in 1990, NCD has continued to play a
leading role in addressing the concerns of people with
disabilities by advising public policy.
