Abstract
The American Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) was established to protect individuals with disabilities from discrimination against access to health care and public services and to ensure they have equitable resources. It is imperative that obstetric providers understand the applications of the ADA requirements when caring for pregnant patients with disabilities ensuring they are able to physically access outpatient care and effectively communicate with their care team.
