| + | |||
| + | The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) was passed in 2005 with the goal of creating an accessible Ontario by 2025. This legislation is unique because it: | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | * applies to both public and private organizations | ||
| + | * requires obliged organizations to be proactive in identifying, preventing and removing barriers to accessibility | ||
| + | * shifts the focus from the individual who requires an accommodation and focuses on the obligations of organizations to remove barriers | ||
