AIA CEU's PENDING
For years the charge to meet accessibility requirements was treated as a code compliance issue to be addressed at the end of the design process. Today the call is to ensure seamless access that not only meets the needs of increasingly diverse users but welcomes them.
A discussion of the mandate to provide basic access will provide a foundation for a tour of the various standards for access and their interrelationships (ANSI, UFAS, ADAAG, Fair Housing, ADA Standard for Accessible Design and proposed changes. Examples drawn from experience and selected settlement agreements resulting from court cases and enforcement agency initiatives will provide a context for exploring the principles of Universal Design; an approach to planning that embraces diversity and inclusion by providing for equitable use while promoting efficiency, flexibility and sustainability.
Topics Include:
- Key Standards, their interrelationships and coverage
- Equivalent Facilitation & Structural infeasibility
- Readily Achievable Barrier Removal & Program Access
- Internal and External Compliance Audits
- Most Common Compliance Errors
- Principles of Universal Design
Extensive reference materials including copies of enforceable standards, check lists, and training materials will be provided in an on-line format. AIU CEU's pending.
