How many titles are there in the ADA?

• A. Five
• B. Three
• C. Four
• D. Six

Answer: (A)

The ADA is organized into five titles that cover different areas of protection and access for people with disabilities. These titles address employment protections (for qualified individuals), protections in state and local government programs and services, access to public accommodations and private entities that serve the public, telecommunications services, and miscellaneous provisions that include construction standards and how the law interacts with other laws. Because these major areas are all included, the correct count is five titles. If you saw a count of four or six, that would omit one major area or add an element that isn’t a separate title in the ADA’s structure.
