Learning About ADA Requirements

The U.S. Department of Justice offers easy-access to free materials on ADA requirements that include construction and design specs, facility access mandates, and other related service delivery needs to help those with disabilities and the people who serve them become more informed about their rights and responsibilities.

An automated service is available 24-hours a day for recorded information and to order publications.

Publications are available in standard print as well as large print, audiotape, Braille, and computer disk for people with disabilities.

In addition to access requirements for public facility design and construction, the U.S. Department of Justice provides publications, manuals, business briefs, videos and other resources covering all related ADA topics including legalities, federal, state and local services, employment requirements, agencies, enforcement reports, ADA-related tax information, and communication needs.

Visit the ADA web site at www.ADA.gov for a complete list of available resources and information.
