Explanation:

The American with Disabilities Act (ADA), passed by Congress in 1990, is a civil rights law that prohibits discrimination based on any disability. According to this law, discrimination is prohibited in employment, public services and public accommodations.

Both mental and physical disabilities are included and the disability does not have to be severe. However, some disabilities considered anti - social, such as pedophilia, kleptomania or voyeurism are excluded in order to prevent abuse.

The Act was signed by President George W. Bush on January 1, 2009.
