The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was established to ensure that people with disabilities have equal access to common programs, products and services.
Website accessibility was not originally addressed in original ADA guidelines, however, due to several high-profile lawsuits and legal settlements, the World Wide Web Consortium recently established Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0, which has become the adopted standard for online ADA compliance.
This includes government, public higher education, public K-12 schools and certain nonprofit organizations and financial institutions.
Guidelines and standards for all businesses will be formally established in the very near future.
Is your website Perceivable, Operable, Understandable and Robust enough to meet compliance standards? These are the guiding principles behind the law.
