The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a landmark federal civil rights law enacted in 1990 designed to prohibit discrimination against individuals with disabilities across all areas of public life. The ADA ensures that people with diverse abilities have equal access and opportunities in employment, education, transportation, public services, and places of public accommodation — including digital spaces such as websites, online documents, and mobile applications.

The ADA is enforced by the U.S. Department of Justice and is structured into several titles, with Title II covering state and local government services and Title III addressing public accommodations and commercial facilities. Compliance requires organizations to remove physical and digital barriers and provide effective communication for individuals with sensory, cognitive, or physical disabilities.

In today’s digital-first world, ADA compliance extends beyond physical facilities to include websites, electronic documents, and digital content. This means ensuring your online presence meets WCAG guidelines and Section 508 compliance standards, which provide detailed technical criteria for making web content and documents accessible to all users.

Achieving full ADA compliance requires a comprehensive approach that includes: 

• Conducting thorough accessibility checks on websites, digital content, and documents. 
• Implementing accessibility design best practices to ensure content is perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust. 
• Remediating existing PDFs, Word documents, PowerPoint presentations, and other digital files to meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards and beyond.
