- Americans with Disabilities Act
a. The Corps should be in compliance with the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 as amended. This act requires that "all programs and facilities be to the highest degree feasible, readily accessible and usable by all persons who have a disability, including mobility, visual, hearing, or mental impairments."
b. AR 600-7 (1983) requires DOD facilities to conduct self-assessment. Think about your programs, not just drinking fountains and walkways.
c. Archeological exhibits are a mission under ARPA - Archeological Resources Protection Act of 1979. - Americans with Disabilities Act / Architectural Barriers Act (ADA/ABA)
- The Department of Defense (DOD) recently adopted new accessibility standards under the
Architectural Barriers Act (ABA), which requires access to federally funded facilities. The
standards apply to military and other facilities under DOD's jurisdiction. According to a
department memorandum issued on October 31, 2008, the new standards take effect
immediately for projects and leasing actions, though projects before FY 2010 are required to
comply to the maximum extent feasible. The memorandum details which facilities are
covered by the policy, addresses exclusions and requests for modifications, and provides
supplementary information on certain requirements in the standards. Additional information
on the DOD standards and other ABA or ADA standards is available on the Boards website at
