Abstract

The article discusses the Americans With Disabilities Act Amendments Act (ADAAA) which went into effect in the U.S. on January 1, 2009. As explained, ADAAA provided a more expansive interpretation of the definition of disability than under the original Act. It explains how the ADAAA did not change the actual definition of disability, but has expanded what are considered major life activities, citing caring for oneself, performing manual tasks, and hearing as examples.
