In 1990, US President George H. W. Bush signed the ADA. It focused on stopping discrimination based on disabilities. ADA made it illegal to treat people with disabilities unjustly. The ADA allows anyone with an impairment to receive the same, equal opportunities as everyone else.
To be protected by the ADA, an individual must have a disability, defined by the ADA as a “physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, a person who has a history or record of such an impairment, or a person who is perceived by others as having such an impairment”.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires state and local governments, businesses, and non-profit organizations to provide goods, services, and programs to people with disabilities on an equal basis with the rest of the public.
The executive director is a certified American with Disabilities Act Coordinator (ADAC) from ADA Coordinator Training Certification Program at University of Missouri. The certification verities that participants have completed training in required content areas and have an in-depth knowledge of ADA issues.
The only reliable way to ensure compliance is by obtaining an ADA Accessibility Assessment. With a report in hand, you will be armed with the information you need to gain protection from lawsuits and ensure your property is accessible to everybody.
ADA Accessibility Review fees start at $5,000.00.
