S1E22 - AccessWorld #22 -- Looking Back at 35 Years of the ADA
Episode 22
Monday, 4 August, 2025
In this episode of AccessWorld, we look back at 35 years of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Aaron shares what it was like growing up only knowing about the ADA, while Tony reminisces on what life was like before the landmark legislation for people with disabilities became law. They talk about how the law made our physical world more accessible, and what’s had to happen since then to change attitudes and chart how accessibility eventually grew into the digital space. Aaron then shares what’s in store for the August issue of AccessWorld Magazine. The AccessWorld podcast is an extension of AccessWorld Magazine, a quarterly online publication on digital inclusion and accessibility published by the American Foundation for the Blind. Aaron Preece is editor-in-chief of AccessWorld, and Tony Stephens leads communications for AFB. Together, they meet up each month for the AccessWorld podcast to discuss all things digital accessibility. Visit www.afb.org/AW to check out the latest issue of AccessWorld Magazine and read through the past 25 years of back-issues, available completely free to readers. Want to help support our work?
