Transcript text: The ADA only regulates design as it relates to mobility based disabilities.
Solution
Answer
The answer is False.
Explanation
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a comprehensive civil rights law that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life. This includes jobs, schools, transportation, and all public and private places that are open to the general public. The ADA is not limited to mobility-based disabilities; it covers a wide range of disabilities, including but not limited to:
Option 1: Mobility-based disabilities
The ADA does regulate design to accommodate individuals with mobility impairments, such as requiring ramps, elevators, and accessible restrooms.
Option 2: Other types of disabilities
The ADA also addresses other types of disabilities, such as visual, auditory, and cognitive impairments. For example, it requires accommodations like Braille signage for the visually impaired, assistive listening systems for the hearing impaired, and modifications to communication methods for those with cognitive disabilities.
Therefore, the ADA's scope is broader than just mobility-based disabilities, making the statement false.
