When interacting with customers and clients, business owners should be aware of their legal obligation to make reasonable efforts to accommodate individuals with disabilities. Depending on the type of business, this could mean making changes to office building access or providing alternative methods for communication. For instance, a restaurant may need to provide menus that include both text and images. Providing information in different formats is important for meeting ADA compliance regulations as well as offering quality customer service.
According to the Americans With Disabilities Act, businesses must make reasonable modifications and accommodations for individuals with disabilities. This may include making changes to physical structures in order to make them accessible. Businesses should follow accepted standards of accessibility and also adhere to local building codes when making changes.

It is important for business owners to keep up-to-date on the latest ADA laws in order to remain compliant.
