The Americans with Disabilities Act prohibits employers from discriminating against those with disabilities and mental illness in all employment-related activities. Despite this act being signed into law 30 years ago, many Iowans still face discrimination in the workplace and other employment-related activities. Disability Rights Iowa advocates for Iowans with disabilities and mental illness to gain proper workplace accommodations and equal access to career growth opportunities.

DRI envisions a future in which all Iowans have equal opportunities to pursue meaningful careers, grow in them, and experience fulfillment through employment.
