Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The major problem with the original ADA was that individuals with disabilities that could be managed/corrected (e.g., with medication) were not considered disabled. This meant that many individuals who could benefit from the protections of the law were not covered. The ADA Amendments Act of 2008 amended the original law to broaden the definition of disability and include these individuals.
