ADA Stories from Indiana

What are the ADA Stories from Indiana?

As part of the 20th Anniversary Commemoration, the Indiana Institute on Disability and Community's Center for Aging and Community collected stories about the ADA from the perspective of Hoosiers. Many of the stories were collected at the November Conference for People with Disabilities, hosted by the Indiana Governor's Council for People with Disabilities.

There is a wide range of experiences featured in these stories, from early advocates recalling the years before and after the passage of the ADA, to new advocates talking about what the ADA means to them and their community.

What is featured in some of the ADA Stories?

• Justin Dart's visits to Indiana to raise support for the ADA.
• Learn about early advocacy work for the ADA from a Hoosier perspective.
• The DREDF trainings that occurred in the years after the passage of the ADA.
• The impact of the ADA on the lives of Hoosiers.
