ADA Resources for Businesses
Business and the ADA
Businesses are covered by Title III of the ADA. Some examples of these "places of public accommodation" as they are called by the Department of Justice are: hotels, restaurants, stores, health care provider offices, and hospitals.
The Department of Justice maintains an ADA Business Connection webpage with information about legal obligations and fact sheets for businesses such as the ADA Standards for Accessible Design, business briefs, and online course materials.
