This is the sandbox page where you will draft your initial Wikipedia contribution. If you're starting a new article, you can develop it here until it's ready to go live. If you're working on improvements to an existing article, copy only one section at a time of the article to this sandbox to work on, and be sure to use an edit summary linking to the article you copied from. Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here. Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content. Bibliography sandbox

History

Initially it was believed that ADA signs could change the modern environment to accommodate wheel chair users. As Guffey notes, "The modern wheelchair promised far more mobility than anything offered earlier generations of disabled people. But for it to be integrated into modern life, the modern environment had to be changed to accommodate it". ^[1]

Benefits

An ADA sign need to provide the following benefits

- It needs to be easy to see

- It must not have a glare so it is easy to read

- It must have raised text so a blind person can read the sign using fingertips.
