What did the 1991 ADA Standard establish?
The 1991 ADA set Standards for Accessible Design and established the initial guidelines for making public spaces accessible to individuals with disabilities. These standards cover a wide range of architectural features, including ramps, doorways, and restrooms, to ensure that newly constructed or altered facilities meet accessibility requirements. These standards laid the groundwork for the more comprehensive 2010 ADA Standards that followed.
