Mission Statement
ADA/VETS is a national non profit organization defending the rights of qualified individuals, who have been deemed disabled, and who have been excluded from mainstream society due to their disability. This includes the workplace, school, and any accommodation afforded the non-disabled population of American society.
The goal of ADA/VETS is to achieve equal treatment for disabled individuals from birth to death, fair and equal treatment and access under the law, under the XIV Amendment of the Constitution.
ADA/VETS will attempt to secure the entitlement of Constitutional provisions mandated by the Department of Justice-XIV Amendment to the Constitution (Americans with Disabilities Act) for people with disabilities. As per 42 USC Sec. 12182(a): (a) General rule- No individual shall be discriminated against on the basis of disability in the full and equal enjoyment of the goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, or accommodations of any place of public accommodation by any person who owns, leases (or leases to), or operates a place of public accommodation.

ADA/VETS realizes that the discrimination and/or the lack of accommodation of disabled individuals still exists. The organization has generated a network from state to state to ultimately guarantee equality where disability is concerned. ADA/VETS will do this by inclusion of other disabled Americans, merchants and partners joining the network and collaboratively working together.
