Allsup Salutes 18th Anniversary of Americans with Disabil...(es the stress on programs such as the So...),Health

In 1990, when ADA was signed into law by President George H.W. Bush, there were nearly 4.3 million disabled workers and dependents receiving Social Security disability benefits, and 1 million SSDI applicants, according to the SSA. In comparison, there are more than 8.9 million disabled workers and dependents receiving federal disability benefits today, and 2.5 million people apply for SSDI each year.

For its part, ADA has provided a standard of improvement that guides communities nationwide in how to improve access for people with disabilities.

"ADA's impact has been to make possible a better life for thousands of Americans," Mr. Allsup said. "Allsup strongly believes that this is everyone's dream--to make a better life. That's why we do what we do each day."
