Abstract
The federal Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in employment, government operations, public accommodations and telecommunications, has given many disabled people the legal tools to enjoy an ordinary life. ADA is changing the look of Maine's communities, workplaces and institutions, and the rest of society is changing the way it thinks. Profiles of some of Maine's disabled residents, and how the ADA has affected them. Related articles on Alice Conway of Auburn, who was born with spina bifida and uses a wheelchair, and her experience flying with United Airlines. Conway is suing United Airlines under the federal Air Carrier Access Act.
