Design? Build? Retrofit? Look beyond the law and learn what really makes sense in making your facilities comply with ADA guidelines. This newly revised edition of APWA's popular ADA handbook will help you make practical decisions about assuring that your facilities are accessible. From alarms to ground surfaces to telephones, you'll find over 300 pages of illustrations and commentary on how to make the best design decisions for overcoming barriers to accessibility.
Written by the ADA specialist for the City of Kansas City, Missouri, who is a wheelchair user, this book helps you see accessibility issues and solutions from the perspective of the end-user. The book offers an understanding of why the regulations are important and how acutal design errors can cause problems for those with disabilities as well as for many others.
Coil-bound, arranged alphabetically and tabbed, this user-friendly book walks you through a situation/objective, common error and solutions process and now includes illustrated sections on current and proposed ADAAG requirements.
