Simplifying the ADA in California

By Paul Spite

In September of 2010, the U.S. Department of Justice published the "2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design," a comprehensive set of standards about designing buildings to facilitate their use by the handicapped. The publication contained two parts, one establishing accessibility laws for facilities built with public funds, and one providing guidelines for public buildings built by private entities. Since that time, numerous model codes, building codes and published standards have been released, based in part or in whole on those standards, creating some confusion as to what exactly is required. This course is a comprehensive overview of the original guidelines and their intent. An attempt was made to simplify these regulations and present them in an orderly and comprehensible fashion. Hopefully, the resulting information will be of use in designing public accommodation and commercial facilities, making them readily accessible to, and usable by individuals with disabilities.
