About
This two hour course will examine the current 2020 version of the code and the most recent changes, where they did occur. In a few instances, where the original content is needed to help explain the intent behind a change, an overview of the appropriate sections of the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design will be provided. These will be underlined to help distinguish them from the main body of this course. The text of changes made in each code section will be italicized to identify them as coming from revisions in the code. Where the intent is not self-evident by the text itself, a summary of the change / addition will also be included. Please be sure to thoroughly review, the original intent from the ADA (if provided), the change to the rules and the summary of the change when provided..
