The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) is a law in Ontario, Canada, that allows the government to develop specific standards of accessibility and to enforce them. The goal of the AODA is to make Ontario accessible for people with disabilities by 2025.
The AODA requires organizations to follow standards to become more accessible. The standards are rules that organizations must follow to identify, remove and prevent barriers for people with disabilities. The standards are made into laws, and organizations must follow them.
The AODA has five standards: Customer Service, Information and Communications, Employment, Transportation, and Design of Public Spaces. Organizations must comply with the standards that apply to them.
