The ADA Standards for Accessible Design are structured to ensure that facilities are accessible by individuals with a wide variety of different disabilities, such as persons who are blind or have low vision, people who are deaf or hard of hearing, persons with limited use of hands or arms, persons who use wheelchairs, and individuals with a mobility disability who use a cane, crutches, braces, or a walker. Thus, the Standards set minimum architectural requirements to meet the different needs of persons with each of these types of disabilities.
