Abstract:

This article introduces and provides an overview of a special journal issue that examines the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) at its 25th anniversary. The journal articles reflect on the past 25 years, examine present opportunities and challenges, and consider the future to ensure continued action toward the civil and human rights of individuals with cognitive and other disabilities for inclusion and active citizenship. Individuals with cognitive conditions that limit daily life activities, such as intellectual and developmental disabilities, are individuals with ADA-covered disabilities.
