About

I am a disabled dad who likes dogs, donuts, and dad jokes. ADA Matters is a public record built from documents. It is what happened when I asked three named Georgia institutions for three ordinary things: access, communication, and a fair process.

The name works twice. ADA Matters, as in the Americans with Disabilities Act, the federal law that has required access for people with disabilities since 1990. And ADA matters, as in it is not optional, which is apparently news in Georgia. It is not a revenge project. It is not a rant. And it is not legal advice. It is a record, kept the way records are kept.

Every entry is one event, entered once. The Timeline, each institution record, the documents, and the Open Questions ledger are all generated from those same events, so the views never drift out of sync.

A primary source is the actual email, letter, receipt, or filing, and every claim links to one. Where an event is known only through later correspondence, the entry says so. Where a source has not yet been attached, the entry says “source pending” rather than implying more than the record shows.

Private home addresses, personal phone numbers, private email accounts, medical details, minors, and unrelated individuals are redacted. Public officials acting through public office accounts are not anonymized.

Naming public officials acting in their official roles makes the record understandable and verifiable. Each name carries the verified title, the public address, and the dated source. The record describes what an official wrote or did, with the date and document. It does not speculate about motive.

If any fact here is incomplete or inaccurate, identify the page, the sentence, and the supporting document. Good-faith corrections are reviewed and the record is updated and dated. When the record changes, the site changes too.
