ADA Accessibility Associates
Current
Many businesses still refuse to provide accommodations for disabled individuals. Despite the Americans with Disabilities Act having been in effect for many years, numerous restaurants, medical offices and other places of "public accommodation" are not following the law. Numerous commercial establishments are still discriminating against people with disabilities by failing to provide fully accessible facilities or having physical barriers stopping disabled individuals for being able to access their goods or services. Most of our clients come to us because they are fed up with being treated differently. Let us help you get your rights and dignity back.
