What is the ADA?

The ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act), and the ABA (Architectural Barriers Act), are
governmental regulations that spawned from the Civil Rights & Disabilities legislation from the 1960's. 

The Architectural Barriers Act of 1968 (ABA) requires that buildings constructed or altered by or on behalf of the United States, leased by the Federal Government, or financed by federal grants or loans -- if the authorizing statute permits design standards -- be designed and constructed to be accessible to persons with disabilities. The ABA, while not initially effective, nevertheless established the foundation for later efforts to provide accessibility in federally funded facilities.

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is the most comprehensive federal civil-rights statute protecting the rights of people with disabilities. It affects access to employment; state and local government programs and services; access to places of public accommodation such as businesses, transportation, and non-profit service providers; and telecommunications. This section provides information on the structure of the ADA and identifies enforcing agencies, introduces language and information associated with the definition of disability, and explains the historical context of the disability rights movement and related Federal laws, culminating with the passage of the ADA.

How does it work?

In flexible materials such as acrylic, the sphere is held in place by the tight friction fit of the sphere in the material. Because the spheres and the holes
must be within tight tolerances, we offer precision-machined Rasters™ and precision cutters to get the job done right. In metals and other hard
surfaces, the Rasters™ are held in place by adhesive (the adhesive-assist method).
