2. A member who is in a wheelchair needs access to
his/her organization’s host site. The member
needs…
Reasonable accommodation in the form of an
accessible path to the service entrance located at the
back of the building.
An accessible pathway, a permanent ramp that will
allow access to a doorway that is larger than their
wheelchair and a door that is operable by a person
with low mobility.
A portable ramp that is positioned over the stairs at
the front of the building while they are assigned to
service at that organization for their service year.

3. Please Try
Again
This is not a
reasonable
accommodation.
Requiring a person
with a disability to use
a service entrance is
offensive and a
violation of their rights.
An accessible entrance
for all people is
required by the ADA.

4. Come on…
you can do it!
Portable ramps should only
be used in emergency
situations. The ADA
requires that an
organization has a fully
accessible entrance for all
people to use including
those with disabilities.

5. Great Job!
Nice Work! The American’s with Disabilities Act requires that
organizations have accessible entrances. These include those that
have 1:12 ramps and at least 36 inch doorways. The doors must also
be able to be used independently by anyone who would like to enter
the facility.
