ADA Materials & Methodologies Presenation
Wayfinding is designed to navigate people though the built environment
ADA laws require signage and elements in public spaces so blind people can navigate
People with visual impairments also benefit for ADA laws
ADA signs have multiple elements to handle the needs of the blind and visually impaired
Nobody would be able to navigate a hallway or facility without signs
ADA signs are in public and commercial facilities and are tied into non-residential
construction
