ADA Guidelines in the Workplace
Revamping your office space to enhance accessibility? By adhering to ADA guidelines, you can ensure that individuals with disabilities have seamless access to services and facilities within your workplace.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), a pivotal piece of civil rights legislation enacted in 1990 and amended in 2008, guarantees equal opportunities for people with disabilities across various aspects of public life. From employment opportunities to accessing goods and services and participating in government programs, the ADA aims to eliminate discrimination and foster inclusivity.
What is the ADA?
ADA.gov describes the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) as "one of America's most comprehensive pieces of civil rights legislation that prohibits discrimination and guarantees that people with disabilities have the same opportunities as everyone else to participate in the mainstream of American life -- to enjoy employment opportunities, to purchase goods and services, and to participate in State and local government programs and services."
Passed in 1990 and amended in 2008, the ADA exists to provide equal opportunities for people with disabilities in all facets of public life.
