What Are ADA Braille Signs?
The Basics
- ADA: Stands for the Americans with Disabilities Act, a law that ensures public spaces are accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities.
- Braille: A system of raised dots that people who are blind or visually impaired can read by touch.
- ADA Braille Signs: These signs include both regular text and Braille, helping people navigate buildings and public spaces independently.
Why They Matter
- Accessibility: ADA Braille signs make sure everyone, regardless of their ability, can find their way around easily.
- Compliance: Businesses must have ADA Braille signs to meet legal requirements and avoid fines.
