ADA Compliant Signage
What is ADA Compliant Signage?
ADA compliant signage is fabricated to meet the requirements set by the Americans with Disabilities Act. ADA policies ensure signage is accessible for all people, but primarily those with disabilities. These regulations include things like braille, contrast, and font requirements. ADA-compliant signage plays a critical role in fostering an environment where everyone can access information and navigate spaces efficiently. By meeting these standards, businesses and organizations not only comply with legal requirements but promote a culture of inclusion and for all building occupants.
