Excerpt
This guide presents an informal overview of some basic ada requirements for small businesses that provide goods or services to the public. It omits many of the ?legal? terms that are found in the ada and its regulations. But because it would be misleading to separate any explanation of ada requirements from the law, references to key sections of the regulations or other information are included.
