Meet Accessibility Guidelines.
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
You are probably familiar with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), a US guideline enforced by the Department of Justice. It was created to accommodate the needs of people with disabilities in public areas like buildings, parks, facilities, and transportation (to name a few).
ADA and other accessibility guidelines also extend to communications and IT.
Even if an organization is not directly required to follow other compliance requirements, nearly every organization is subject to the ADA. The ADA is separated into multiple titles covering almost all organizations, instilling this accessibility requirement across the board.
If you live outside of the United States, you must comply with your country’s laws. Most countries have disability civil rights laws inspired by the ADA that contain guidelines, regulations, or standards.
