ADA

The Americans with Disabilities Act is a U.S. civil rights law requiring that public accommodations, employers, and government entities provide equal access to people with disabilities. In AT contexts, ADA compliance often drives decisions about accessible technology in schools, workplaces, and public spaces — for example, requiring that software, kiosks, or communication systems be usable by people with sensory or motor disabilities. Understanding ADA obligations can help families and professionals advocate for appropriate AT provisions.
