What is an ADA Sign?

The ADA is the Americans with Disabilities act, and ADA signs are signs that follow the regulations of this Act. As you might expect from the name, the ADA’s requirements for signs as all about making the signs accessible for those with disabilities. For signs, the regulations are usually about helping those with some level of visual impairment to access the sign. That’s not just people who are entirely blind, but also people who are color blind or who have other visual issues. The ADA was also created by experts who considered how people with multiple disabilities might need to navigate your space. For example, someone who in a wheelchair and needs to read the braille on a sign needs that sign to be within their reach.

You don’t need to feel bad about not being able to predict how people of different abilities might need to navigate your space. Instead, you and your sign-making partner can follow the guidelines from the ADA and be reasonably confident that most people can find their way on your property, even if their experience of the world is very different from yours.
