Accessibility
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA)
Instructional Materials Accessibility Act
(IMAA)
ADA and IDEA establish the principal that people with
disabilities have the right to the same public
accommodations granted to those without disabilities.
These laws clearly call for students with disabilities to have
timely access to the same instructional materials that
students without disabilities have. IMAA will specify exactly
how we achieve equality in these accommodations.
