Web Access For Everyone
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), established in 1990, has shaped how we all do business. The act states that people with physical or mental impairment may not be denied to participate and benefit from public accommodations. We’re used to seeing wheelchair ramps or elevators available for multi-floor buildings, braille provided on bank ATMs, closed captioning capabilities on televisions, and parking lots with designated handicap spaces.
The ADA’s requirements ensures equal opportunity for persons with disabilities in employment, state and local government services, public accommodations, commercial facilities, and transportation and requires the establishment of TDD/telephone relay services. All businesses have to comply with the ADA. It’s a Federal offense to refuse to comply.
