ADAAG Manual: A Guide to the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility GuidelinesThe Access Board has developed this manual to assist in the use of its ADA Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG) for Buildings and Facilities. It explains some of the basic considerations for accessible design and clarifies specific ADAAG provisions in an effort to address frequently asked questions. Advisory information is provided in the form of recommendations: these recommendations are optional and go beyond the minimum required by ADAAG. It is important that this manual be used with a copy ADAAG since it does not address or reprint all the information contained in ADAAG. |
