Chavez-Huerta Preparatory Academy is committed to making its services and resources accessible to all. We are actively improving our website to enhance usability for those with sensory, cognitive, and mobility disabilities but ultimately to all users, regardless of ability. Our ongoing efforts align with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.2, levels A and AA criteria.

What is ADA and What Does it Impact?

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 constitutes a series of protective measures for individuals with disabilities. This legislation was necessitated by the tendency of numerous businesses to only fulfill the bare minimum standards, coupled with the prevalent attitude among many business proprietors that the expenses associated with ensuring accessibility do not warrant the investment. 

In addition, the ADA protects people with disabilities from discrimination and guarantees them equal opportunity in the public and private sectors.

For example, Title III impacts a business’s customer service practices, which explains why accessibility legislation is commonly called ADA Title III. ADA Title III refers to public regions and public accommodations like schools, eating establishments, hospitality locations, physician facilities, retail outlets, museums, and every employment environment.
