Is the ADA amended to include updated definitions of disability?

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was indeed amended to include updated definitions of disability, specifically through the ADA Amendments Act of 2008. This amendment was made to broaden the interpretation of what constitutes a disability, making it easier for individuals to establish coverage under the Act. The changes reflected a commitment to ensuring that more individuals could benefit from the protections offered by the ADA, thereby enhancing access to employment, public services, and other areas of life. The 2008 amendment emphasized that the definition should be construed broadly to ensure inclusion and prevent discrimination, revising the criteria used to assess disabilities in various contexts.

The choices regarding "only in 1990" and "only in 2008" imply a restriction that does not encompass the overall intent and evolution of the ADA, which has indeed been updated to reflect a more inclusive understanding of disability.
