SKU: RV-10320AD
Duration: 2.00 Hrs

The Americans with Disabilities Act/Architectural Barriers Act Accessibility Guidelines (2010 Guidelines) developed by the U.S. Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board (the Access Board) effectively replaces the 1991 ADA Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG) and the Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards (UFAS). The Recreation Facilities section (Chapter 10) of the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design focus on ADA requirements for accessibility on newly designed or newly constructed and altered amusement rides. An “amusement ride” is defined by the guidelines as a system that moves people through a fixed course within a defined area for the purpose of amusement. ADAAG addresses only the built environment (structures and grounds). This interactive online course provides criteria for basic elements within the “Recreational Facilities” of accessibility as established by the guidelines, including:

  • 1001 General
  • 1002 Amusement rides
  • 1003 Boating facilities
  • 1004 Fishing piers and platforms
  • 1005 Miniature golf courses
  • 1006 Golf courses
  • 1007 Exercise equipment
  • 1008 Bowling lanes
  • 1009 Shooting facilities
  • 1010 Swimming pools, wading pools, and spas
