AOPA Working to Help Kids Move
Today marks the 32nd anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the groundbreaking U.S. civil rights legislation – signed into law on July 26th, 1990 – that prohibits discrimination and guarantees opportunity in mainstream American life for people with disabilities.
To honor the ADA and help advance inclusion – in all facets of society – for the patients we serve, AOPA is excited to announce the So Kids Can Move initiative. In partnership with the National Association for the Advancement of Orthotics & Prosthetics (NAAOP), we are launching this awareness raising, state-based policy initiative to expand access to recreational prostheses as medically necessary healthcare for children on a state-by-state basis. So Kids Can Move will expand access to the health and social benefits of physical activity for children who need appropriate, evidence-based prosthetic care to do so.
