The ADA, a major civil rights law prohibiting discrimination on the basis of disability, establishes design requirements for the construction or alteration of facilities. It covers facilities in the private sector (places of public accommodation and commercial facilities) and the public sector (state and local government facilities). Under the ADA, the Board is responsible for accessibility guidelines covering newly built and altered facilities. In 1991, the Board published the ADA Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG) which serve as the basis for standards used to enforce the law. The new guidelines overhaul the original ADAAG.

This 1-hour interactive online course covers accessibility requirements for general site and building elements. This material is presented in chapter 5 of the ADAAG and includes the technical specifications and regulations for topics such as parking spaces, passenger loading zones, stairways, and handrails.

This course includes a multiple-choice test after each section.
