The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) radically changed how
governments design buildings. The next wave of ADA compliance is going
to revolutionize how governments design web sites.
Nearly one in five Americans has a disability, according to the
President's Committee on Employment of People with Disabilities. Not all
disabilities affect access to information technologies such as the web,
but many do. Regardless, few web sites are being built with the disabled
in mind. A recent study by Civic Resource Group examining county web
sites in California found only six percent passed the most basic
accessibility standard set by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
As the federal government considers revising the ADA and other federal
laws to include the Internet, local, state, and federal web sites will
need to address ADA compliance.
