ADA 28 Celebration Set for July 26th at the
Institute for Human Centered Design
(Boston, MA) – The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is one of the most transformative laws in US history. Its mandate created access and opportunities for persons with disabilities. Many in recovery from addiction have struggled not knowing they have rights under the ADA. To acknowledge and celebrate the 28th anniversary of its signing, the New England ADA Center, a project of Institute for Human Centered Design (IHCD) will host a Laugh N’ Learn focused on people in recovery on Thursday, July 26th from 12:00 pm to 1:30 pm at the IHCD office located at 200 Portland Street in Boston.
This is a free event open to the public, but you must RSVP because space is limited. This Laugh N’ Learn is focused on people in recovery from alcohol, substance use and opioid addiction and is meant to be informative. The program kicks off with PJ Moynihan’s ‘Recovering Addiction,’ a documentary short that introduces a paradigm shift from drugs being inherently addictive to the triggers for substance use in society. “It’s not the chemicals, It’s your cage.” Then laugh along with two of Boston’s best comedians, Amy Tee and Jack Lynch as they share their experiences with addiction and recovery. It is our hope that the New England ADA Center will be a safe space for both discussion and uplifting humor for all.
Please join us in a thought provoking good humor to mark the passage of the nation’s premier civil rights law, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). We wouldn’t be where we are without the ADA, but much work remains to be done to achieve full inclusion for all Americans with disabilitie. Today, this Laugh N’ Learn is one of inclusion and good humor, thanks to the ADA.
The New England ADA Center is one of ten regional ADA Centers that comprise the ADA National Network and provides information and training on the ADA to promote and support voluntary compliance of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
