There are thousands of pages of information available on accessibility standards. They are difficult to wade through to assimilate them.
This 1 hour course presents a synopsis of the laws which govern accessibility of the built environment, for people who are handicapped. With a few minor exceptions, none of these regulations are suggestions. Compliance is mandatory to both obtain regulatory approvals and avoid increasingly successful litigation. Review and assessment of these regulations regarding accessibility should be part of almost any design project.
