ADA Standards for Accessible Design

The ADA Standards for Accessible Design are rules that ensure buildings, facilities, and public spaces are usable by everyone, including people with disabilities. They specify how things like door widths, ramps, elevators, signage, and restrooms should be designed to be accessible. The goal is to eliminate barriers so that individuals with mobility, hearing, or vision impairments can navigate and use spaces safely and comfortably. These standards help promote equal access and independence, ensuring that public environments accommodate all individuals regardless of their abilities.
