THE LAW
The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) prohibits discrimination and ensures equal opportunity for persons with disabilities in employment, State and local government services, public accommodations, commercial facilities, and transportation. It also mandates the establishment of TDD/telephone relay services. The current text of the ADA includes changes made by the ADA Amendments Act of 2008 (P.L. 110-325), which became effective on January 1, 2009. The ADA was originally enacted in public law format and later rearranged and published in the United States Code.

When a disabled person has a complaint a ADA Compliance Surveyor will interview the disabled person to get the details of the complaint to validate whether or not the alleged violations actually exist. Then the ADA Compliance Surveyor will survey the property complained on. The surveyor will refer to the "ADA Checklist for Existing Facilities" provided by the New England ADA for the onsite survey and take the necessary photos and notes to provide proof of existing violations. This information will provide a preliminary report on the facility that was complained on. The survey is free of charge.
