On this Dimensions of Diversity episode, host Lloyd Freeman
brings in Andrew Hope, a litigator at Buchanan Ingersoll and
Rooney's office in Philadelphia. Andrew has a wide variety of
experience in litigation matters and focuses on consumer defense,
especially with ADA cases which the episode centers on.
Web accessibility for people with disabilities has been an ongoing
issue that was enhanced after the 2020 global pandemic. Lloyd and
Andrew reflect on the fact that the ADA's Title III has little
but no explanation regarding web accessibility standards and
guidelines. Apart from this, Andrew highlights that Title III has
no size limits and the law also applies to small businesses. How
should businesses approach this issue? What level of accessibility
should websites have? Can assisted technology be compatible with
web content? Lloyd and Andrew go on into a deep conversation about
the many issues of the American Disabilities Act in this
technological era.
