Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act requires those offering public accommodations to make these equally available to all persons equally regardless of disabilities. The Circuit Courts of Appeals are split on whether Title III extends to non-physical spaces such as insurance policies, but no court has directly addressed the application of Title III to Internet Web sites. Under recently adopted Federal regulations, Section 508, the Federal Government must design all Federal Web sites to provide equal access to those with disabilities. This article explains that Web sites will probably eventually be required to be ADA compliant because they are public accommodations under Title III of the ADA. This article discusses the features that must be included in a Web site for it to be ADA compliant. For example, text labels must be provided for all graphics and all site functions must be keyboard activated. These features will permit the site to be used by persons with disabilities such as blindness who rely on screen-readers to permit access to the Internet. The article also discusses some of the drawbacks to ADA compliance such as expense and limitations on features normally included in Web sites. |
