Why should events improve their access for people with disabilities?
- It's the law! The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), a federal law, requires that all entities open to the public be accessible to people with disabilities. Help avoid lawsuits by putting an access plan in place.
- It broadens your market! Twenty percent of all Americans have a disability. As baby boomers age, more and more people are developing disabilities. You may be losing customers if your business is not accessible.
- It's the right thing to do! People with disabilities want to participate in the fun things in life just as everyone else does.
