The document discusses ADA web compliance and its four main principles: perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust. Websites must be accessible to people with disabilities and allow them to perceive, navigate, understand, and access content. The ADA was passed in 1990 before the internet existed, so it has since adapted to ensure website accessibility for people with disabilities as technology advanced. The four principles of ADA compliant web design help make digital information accessible to all users.

1. ADA Web Compliance
By Jett Even

2. Website compliance has four primary
principles.
The four principles of ADA complaint
web design are:
1. Perceivable
2. Operable
3. Understandable
4. Robust

3. The information must be easy to see
or hear and viable to those with or
without disabilities, must be
presented in a way that people can
perceive.

4. Secondly, the information has to be easily
available, able to operate and navigate
without running into much problems. For
example, the website being able to be
used with only the keyboard makes it
simple and easy to operate at an efficient
level.

5. Understandable is next and
this is essential to any type
of material being presented
to any student, especially
those in need of extra
assistance or assistive
technology. Making
webpages readable, simple,
and able to reach all
audiences without too much
unnecessary explanation.

6. The content must be ‘robust’ or
powerful in that it must be felt by a
wide variety of audiences and reaches
all different types of people. This
principle is entirely on ensuring the
compatibility between your website
and all current and future
technologies someone may use to
assist them.

7. When the ADA was passed in 1990 for the first
time, the internet did not exist so there was no such
thing as ADA website compliance. So with the
addition of the internet, the ADA had to adapt to
the technology like everything and everyone else in
the world . Thus, businesses and organizations
nationwide and worldwide had to realize that there
are people with disabilities all over and in larger
number than one would realize. So in has became a
forefront in the AT department to incorporate into
today’s world.

8. The ADA is the Americans with
Disabilities Act, first passed in 1990,
this bill was introduced to address
everyone is the United States living
with disabilities of all types. It started
in 1990, just before the technology
boom so it has adapted a ton and has
came a long way since it was
introduced 29 years ago.

9. The original ADA was a made up to decrease
and ultimately eliminate discrimination against
disabled people from potential employers,
existing employers, governments, and unions.
To be considered in this act to be protected,
you must have a physical or mental impairment
that limits your life in a major way due to the
impairment or have a history of the disability
or disabilities.

10. Title I
Employment
Title I ensures the equal employment opportunity for all individuals
regardless of Disabilities. Title I was made into a reality to help people
with disabilities access the same employment opportunities and benefits
available to people without disabilities. It is required that employers
provide accommodations to qualified applicants or employees that will
make their job possible to do with their disability. An acceptable
accommodation is any adjustment or modification for a job or task that
will allow an employee with a disability to participate and perform
essential job functions. Ultimately allowing them to do anything anyone
else can do with no hindrance in their duties.
