Ashma Aryal Kathmandu,27 July The US Embassy,Kathmandu has introduced ADA (American Disability Act) as a revival of 1990 July 26. After the Second World War, world has raised the question of commonality  for the simple but profound expression of   humanity which has glorified disability sector  around early 1960s to 1970s.In quest of   independence, disability empowerment(1972) ,the breath of disability through rehabilitation  (1973) and 1977 as base for social security and  regularity are considered as tools to take non-  discrimination in this status.The refined govt of  1989 has great role to introduce ADA.

To valorize ADA, Embassy has divided the program from different angles of discussion, presentation, recommendation and question-answer session. Audiences have shown their full concern, quite aggressive presentation and mixture of satisfaction, rebellion, intellectual and generalization at the same time. Birendra Raj Pokherel former president of NFDN suggested for accessibility and software that software are not perfect from disability point of view. Even software designed for disability also Shows barriers.

ADA event has drawn the attention of disability sector through logical and synthetic patterns of policy making, implementation and interpretation by which pseudo -event has been defined as a part of expression. This 25th celebration has performed a kind of missionary advocacy as commitment of social auditing .Every time; diverse mentality doesn’t work .So to uplift Nepali Disability Sector from the prospective of ADA, aware codependency is the core idea. After presenting this potential view to address ADA with a great honor, the event has been completed .It was fully an integrated concern in Nepal to support the continuation of regular structural tendencies in collaborated ADA effect and Nepali effort  to raise disability.
