Dedicate Resources

Making a business more accessible can be a long process that requires analysis, decision making, and some resources. Begin by designating an ADA Manager, and dedicating resources to assist them in carrying out their job. Some larger organizations create an accessibility team that delegates HR, facilities, operations, marketing, and communication functions that deal with accessibility.

Create a Welcoming Statement

Once you have your ADA team and are ready to start updating your company. Let the public know that you welcome people with disabilities in your business and create a method for community feedback. Use this feedback to improve the rest of your transition and prioritize which areas to evaluate first.

Conduct Self-Evaluation

Go through each element of your business to find what is and isn’t accessible, based off ADA Standards and the suggestions offered in this guide. Your ADA Manager, or ADA team, will examine each element of your business for accessibility: the architecture of the building, your programs and policies, communication, and more.

Develop a Plan

Make a plan: your business’ plan for what, how, and when to address each barrier. Staying organized and getting feedback from each department in your business will make this step much smoother.
