Welcome to

Twenty years ago the Americans with Disabilities Act became law, helping millions of people live better lives.

Today in Tallahassee, disabled Floridians marched up to the state capitol in celebration of the anniversary. Bryan Vaughan, the Executive Director of the Governor’s Commission for Disabilities, spoke about what this day means for him and how the act helps him live a better life.

“We’ve been mainstreamed like we never have before. We’ve been given the opportunities to show our abilities. I think that was what it was intended to do and I’m really glad to finally be able to do that,” said Vaughn.

After the rally, the crowd listened to a band and speakers talked about their successes as well as their struggles.
