ADA Compliant Signage @SEGD #Webinar

Andrew Neale

Sadly ADA compliant signage is something that is often overlooked so it’s great to see that tomorrow, Thursday, November 14, the next SEGD Tools webinar focusses on this very important subject.

ADA compliant signage is signage that helps people with disabilities navigate public spaces and buildings. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal law that prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities, and the ADA Standards for Accessible Design (SAD) outline the requirements for ADA compliant signs.

Tim Lloyd of Nova Polymers will present on the ADA and how it relates to Room Identification and Wayfinding Signage.

Some of the course objectives that will be covered include: What is the ADA? How do ADA codes relate to signage? Understanding the relationship between state and federal ADA regulations, with a brief overview of California’s accessibility codes.

The course will conclude with a discussion about photopolymer and its use in making accessible signage.

Learning Outcomes:

  1. Provide SEGD membership the specifics to the ADA specifications for sign and installation compliancy
  2. Provide SEGD membership a clear, uncomplicated webinar review of the ADA sign specifications in an easy-to-understand format covering the ADA history, sign specifications, braille requirements, and overall understanding of this important portion of the ADA act.
