What Is ADA Compliance?
The Americans with Disabilities Act was instituted in 1990 in an effort to end discrimination based on differing abilities. Drawing heavily from the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964, which established protections against discrimination based on race, religion, sex or national origin, the ADA went a step further by requiring organizations to provide “reasonable accommodations” to employees with disabilities.
As organizations around the world scramble to bring their sites into compliance with the World Wide Web Consortium’s Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), focus on other, preexisting accessibility regulations has also intensified. The United States’ Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is one of the most visible and one of the most complicated pieces of legislation in the sphere of accessibility. Our firm simplifies the process and provides an audit for current clients.
ADA Compliance Website
The ADA’s relationship with websites has been a complicated and often confusing story. As of the beginning of 2019 the ADA does not explicitly address online compliance, even after undergoing several amendments in the far more web-oriented era. With no specific coverage under the law, it usually falls to the courts to determine how ADA standards apply to websites—or whether they do at all. Near the end of 2019 the courts began to side with plaintiffs against companies not making their sites more conducive for disable users.
