True or false: older buildings don’t need to be accessible. False! But it’s complicated…

The ADA isn’t a building code – it’s a civil rights law, and older facilities are often required to be accessible to ensure that people with disabilities have an equal opportunity to participate. With the help of the ADA Checklist, you make a survey of your facility and identify priorities for improvement. Find it at https://www.adachecklist.org/checklist.html

We’ll also be digging into this topic at our annual conference this fall, with a session all about accessibility at historical sites. Stay tuned for those details!
