The philosophy of independent living and adequate services was a key factor in redefining disability and advocating for disability rights. This approach emphasized the importance of empowering individuals with disabilities to live independently and receive the necessary support services to do so. As a result, many pieces of legislation were passed to protect the rights of individuals with disabilities and ensure that they have access to adequate services and support to live full and independent lives. The other options, such as the Equal Rights Amendment, Civil Rights Act, and ADAPT, were also important in the disability rights movement, but they were not the primary driving force behind the legislative changes that occurred.
