British Antidiscrimination Legislation and Wayfinding in Buildings in Scotland.

Robertson, Brian S.

Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, v95 n2 p69-79 Feb 2001

A study investigated the impact of the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) 1995 on the provision of wayfinding aids in local authority buildings in Scotland. Results indicate that although the DDA has raised awareness, it has not necessarily led to the incorporation of wayfinding aids in new or refurbished buildings. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)
