The ADA, a major civil rights law prohibiting discrimination on the basis of disability, establishes design requirements for the construction or alteration of facilities. It covers facilities in the private sector (places of public accommodation and commercial facilities) and the public sector (state and local government facilities). Under the ADA, the Board is responsible for accessibility guidelines covering newly built and altered facilities. In 1991, the Board published the ADA Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG) which serve as the basis for standards used to enforce the law. The new guidelines overhaul the original ADAAG.

This 2-hour interactive online course covers accessibility requirements for accessible routes. This material is presented in chapter 4 of the ADAAG and includes the technical specifications and regulations for topics such as walking surfaces, doors, ramps, curb ramps, elevators, and platform lifts.

The Florida Building Code (FBC) is the go-to guide for builders and others involved in the building trade when it comes to ensuring that minimum standards are met in a variety of areas critical to constructing safe, quality structures. Various parts of the FBC address everything from putting in an acceptable floor to appropriate plumbing, windows, and parking spaces.

In this 1-hour interactive online course, we will be discussing the requirements of the Florida Building Code 2007, Building, Section 11-4.1 through 11-4.7, which addresses Part I of Accessible Elements and Spaces. Because the Accessible Elements and Spaces section is large and complex, we have broken it into three courses to make it more easily digestible.

Historically, most buildings and landscapes were not designed to be readily accessible for people with disabilities. In recent years, however, emphasis has been placed on preserving historically significant properties, and on making these properties-and the activities within them-more accessible to people with disabilities. With the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990, access to properties open to the public is now a civil right.

This 1-hour interactive online course assists historic property owners, design professionals and administrators in evaluating their historic properties so that the highest level of accessibility can be provided while simultaneously minimizing changes to historic materials and features. Though accessibility solutions may seem intimidating to the dedicated preservationist, many can be implemented easily and inexpensively without destroying the significance of historic properties. This course lays out specific preservationist-oriented solutions that comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act and other related accessibility legislation.

The United States is without question a world leader when it comes to providing built environments that are accessible to people with disabilities. The two most recent pieces of legislation dealing with accessible design are the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988. The latter extends the nondiscrimination protections of the Fair Housing Act to persons with disabilities as well as persons with families. This 3-hour interactive online course should be used as a basis to plan spaces with these protections in mind due to the fact that currently, all buildings, existing as well as new construction, must comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
