Text appears "ADA25 -- Americans with Disabilities Act". Video flashes to white then to Howard A. Rosenblum inside NAD Headquarters. On bottom left corner, "#ADA25" appears as a light watermark. On bottom right corner, the NAD logo appears, also as a light watermark.

HOWARD: By now you've watched all 25 videos about different aspects of the ADA. I know it was a lot of information about the ADA. These videos, while short, were chock full of facts and stories to help you understand the ADA better. We're not done, there's still work to do. We have come a long way but there's still a lot left to do. The NAD has been utilizing two different approaches to continue to fight for equality. One approach is to work with the Government to change policies and rules to ensure that the ADA is used appropriately for deaf and hard of hearing Americans. The second approach is to sue when companies or institutions do not comply with the ADA -- these lawsuits target system change to make sure they follow the ADA. I'll share three examples of inequality that we're fighting to improve today. First, the internet. The ADA passed in 1990 but the internet wasn't really around then like how it is now. There were no rules in place to enforce the ADA on the internet. However, the NAD knew this was an important opportunity to change so we sued Netflix. It was the first time that the ADA was applied in regards to the internet. Now, after the case, any companies that stream videos online must comply with the ADA. Second, Video Remote Interpreting (VRI). Sometimes new technology is great but sometimes technology can hinder equality. As deaf and hard of hearing people, we have different needs. Which means using VRI in all hospitals may not be the most ideal situation. We're working on making sure that VRI is used appropriately rather than used all the time for all kinds of situations. Finally, the third example is employment. Many deaf and hard of hearing people still do not have jobs have been passed over for promotions. Again, we must change the system, rules, and policies to improve our chances to either get hired or be promoted. As we celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), we know we have work to do but its important to recognize how far we've come as well. With your support, the NAD will continue to fight towards equality!
