Rocky Mountain Americans with Disabilities Act Center
Colographic is now certified with The Rocky Mountain ADA training. This training provided us with training, information, and technical assistance on the ADA compliant signs for businesses, consumers, schools and government agencies within the Rocky Mountain Region (CO, MT, ND, SD, UT and WY). This allows us to be able to help businesses be compliant with the ADA Law and the best part is it makes life easier for those with disabilities.
Jimmy and Cathy now have a Certificate of Completion for successfully completing The Rocky Mountain ADA training in Casper, WY. It was a two-day class. Jimmy and Cathy brought back knowledge to share with us all – particularly the expertise and insight shared regarding ADA signage!
Some common examples of ADA signage include:
Braille signs: Signs that include raised dots that can be read by touch for people who are visually impaired.
Tactile signs: Signs that include raised lettering or symbols that can be felt by touch for people who are visually impaired.
High-contrast signs: Signs that use bright colors or high-contrast combinations to make them more visible to people with low vision.
Wayfinding signs: Signs that help people navigate a building or space, such as directional signs, room numbers, and floor designations.
Accessible parking signs: Signs that designate parking spaces for people with disabilities, including van accessible spaces and accessible routes to and from the parking area.
To produce and install ADA signage, sign shops must have specialized knowledge and training on the ADA accessibility guidelines. They must also use specific materials and manufacturing processes to ensure that the signs meet the required standards. Having ADA sign certification is essential for sign shops that want to produce and install ADA-compliant signage. We look forward to helping and serving our community more with this new knowledge!
