Accessibility (ADA) Consulting Services

Associated Consulting Solutions provides accessibility consulting services for owners, attorneys, planners, architects, engineers, and developers to ensure that people with physical impairments, visual impairments and hearing impairments can use the facilities. We also inspect and analyze existing buildings in order to prepare reports and solutions for compliance of ADA Title III requirements.

Public accommodations must comply with basic nondiscrimination requirements that prohibit exclusion, segregation, and unequal treatment. They also must comply with specific requirements related to architectural standards for new and altered buildings; reasonable modifications to policies, practices, and procedures; effective communication with people with hearing, vision, or speech disabilities; and other access requirements. Additionally, public accommodations must remove barriers in existing buildings where it is easy to do so without much difficulty or expense, given the public accommodation’s resources.

Associated Consulting Solutions provides accessibility consulting services to State and local governments to ensure that people with physical impairments, visual impairments and hearing impairments can use the facilities. We also inspect and analyze existing buildings in order to prepare reports and solutions for compliance of ADA Title II requirements.

State and local governments are required to follow specific architectural standards in the new construction and alteration of their buildings. They also must relocate programs or otherwise provide access in inaccessible older buildings, and communicate effectively with people who have hearing, vision, or speech disabilities. Public entities are not required to take actions that would result in undue financial and administrative burdens. They are required to make reasonable modifications to policies, practices, and procedures where necessary to avoid discrimination, unless they can demonstrate that doing so would fundamentally alter the nature of the service, program, or activity being provided.
