Here are some of the ADA barriers which includes: facility access, programs, services, policy, practice, equipment that limits or denies equal access opportunities for an individual with a disability.
The ADA requires companies providing goods and services to the public to take certain limited steps to improve access to existing places of business. This mandate includes the obligation to remove barriers from existing buildings when it is readily achievable to do so. Readily achievable means easily accomplishable and able to be carried out without much difficulty or expense.
