Ensuring Equal Access for All
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), enacted by the U.S. Department of Justice in September 2010, is a landmark civil rights law designed to prohibit discrimination against individuals with disabilities. This law ensures that people with permanent or temporary disabilities receive equal access to public spaces, digital platforms, workplaces, and essential services.
The ADA Standards for Accessible Design establish technical and scoping requirements, ensuring that websites, digital services, and physical spaces meet accessibility standards.
The ADA extends beyond physical accessibility—it also mandates digital accessibility. Key web accessibility requirements include:
Ensuring hyperlink clarity for easy navigation
Using readable fonts and contrast for text clarity
Providing alternative text for images to describe content accurately
Using clear, simple terminology for better comprehension
