Economics & Government: What is the Americans with Disabilities Act?

When building a public facility, there are many different laws and regulations that need to be considered during the construction and design process. One of those laws is the Americans with Disabilities Act, which requires all public facilities to be accessible to individuals with physical handicaps.

This video discusses some of the major features of the Americans with Disabilities Act, including some of its accessibility statutes. You’ll also learn about how the law prevents discrimination against persons with disabilities.

To help make your home or facility more accessible, contact the accessibility experts at Williams Lift Company in New Jersey. We carry a wide selection of stair lifts, chair lifts, and handicap ramps. Call (908) 322-7070 to learn more about our services today.
