The Americans with Disabilities Act/Architectural Barriers Act Accessibility Guidelines (2010 Guidelines) developed by the U.S. Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board (the Access Board) effectively replaces the 1991 ADA Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG) and the Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards (UFAS).

Chapter 7: Communication Elements and Features of the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design focuses on ADA requirements for accessible modes of communication. In this course, you will learn about the requirements of Title II of the ADA for effective communication. Effective communication means that whatever is written or spoken must be as clear and understandable to people with disabilities as it is for people who do not have disabilities.
Questions answered within this course include:
  • What is effective communication?
  • What are auxiliary aids and services?
  • When is a state or local government required to provide auxiliary aids and services?
  • Who chooses the auxiliary aid or service that will be provided?

This course also provides criteria for basic elements within Chapter 7: Communication Elements and Features of
accessibility as established by the guidelines, including:

  • 701 General
  • 702 Fire Alarm Systems
  • 703 Signs
  • 704 Telephones
  • 705 Detectable Warnings
  • 706 Assistive Listening Systems
  • 707 Automatic Teller Machines and Fare Machines
  • 708 Two-Way Communication Systems
