The ADA standards address access for those using various mobility aids with a set of prescribed maneuvering clearances, reach ranges, and floor surfaces. Some provisions are best understood in relation to the use of wheelchairs and powered devices. In an effort to help clarify the standards, the United State Access Board has created an animated video (below) that explains them in context and why they are important in creating an accessible environment.

For more information on this and other standards, please visit the Guide to the ADA Standards section of the United States Access Board website.
