Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005
The AODA sets up a framework for the government to establish mandatory accessibility standards that will identify, remove and prevent barriers for people with disabilities in key areas of daily living.
Five accessibility standards are now law. The first was for customer service. Four others fall under one large regulation called the Integrated Accessibility Standards Regulation (IASR). Requirements have been phased in since 2011.
AccessNow
The world isn’t built with everyone in mind. Countless places remain inaccessible to people with disabilities. AccessNow works to change that by building a movement that celebrates access and connects people with inclusive, welcoming spaces for all.
