Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice
Abstract
The note argues that the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) must be updated to address digital accessibility, as its current framework, designed for the physical world, fails to accommodate the realities of the digital age. The ADA's success in promoting physical accessibility contrasts sharply with its inadequacy in ensuring equal access to digital spaces, highlighting the need for a new approach that includes digital platforms under its protections.
