Don’t treat ADA compliance as a requirement. Instead, use the specifics as bare minimums and make your business known for accessibility.

Banks and Financial Institutions Must Provide a Wheelchair Ramp
Some banks and financial institutions still do not have wheelchair ramps available for the customers and employees who need them. This can be a particularly difficult problem when it comes to very large banks and financial institutions.
Wheelchair Access is Essential at Schools and Universities
Practicing Tolerance
Many schools and universities today educate their students about the importance of tolerance. Very young children are taught not to discriminate against individuals who have disabilities, for instance. Many modern universities place a great deal of emphasis on the importance of being inclusive.
As such, when schools and universities do not provide adequate wheelchair access, it’s especially unfortunate.
Shopping Centers and Issues With Accessibility
The fact that there are still far too many buildings that do not provide adequate accessibility for people with disabilities is a problem. However, it’s a particularly large issue when the buildings in question are shopping centers.
Building Compliance is a Priority in Good Business
Consider for a moment an old town restaurant. Part of the charm of turn-of-the-last-century buildings meets the latest trends in dining. The ambiance and sense of history you just can’t get from a new building out in the suburbs is something that is often imitated but never duplicated. There is just one problem with this trendy new hot spot.
Why Do You Need An ADA Expert?
If you are a person with a disability or know someone who is, you need to be aware of everything around you. In other words, when you are trying to go anywhere, especially if a wheelchair is involved, you have to make sure that you can easily find a way to get into the building, move around, and – of course – exit in a safe manner.
But what happens if you run into places that simply don’t provide that kind of access? In that case, you need to find an expert.
Is the DOJ Abandoning ADA Enforcement?
It is no secret that President Donald Trump has advocated rolling back regulations affecting businesses. Most of the regulations at issue have concerned the coal industry and other industries that impact the environment.
