Four-Part Series on Accessibility and the ADAAG

Part I—The ADAAG Special Sections: Completing the Accessibility Picture

This session highlights the Special Sections of the current ADA Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG) and informs participants of where to find particular requirements as they relate to specific industry facilities. The Special Sections help to complete the picture for designers of eateries; libraries; and medical care, mercantile, lodging, and transportation facilities. The information found in these sections helps to fill in the gaps for particular requirements of businesses not necessarily or specifically covered in the general section of the guidelines.

Learning Objectives:

Participants will learn about the principles behind the accessibility requirements in the Special Sections Chapters of the current ADAAG. The participants will be better prepared to apply these principles as they use future revisions of ADAAG, and as they use accessibility standards applied through the national building codes. Participants will be able to find the information they need about eateries, medical care facilities, mercantile facilities, libraries, lodging and transportation facilities.
