business law 390 business website and disabilities compliance laws
Hey there, I need your help with the following assignment. Bellow, I have copied and pasted what the school is requesting. Please, provide a 2 page response, in APA, and with 2-3 references.
7.5 – Assignment: Case Study – Employment Law
The Situation
Sally and I (the student) are in the process of opening an upscale restaurant. Suddenly, Sally calls you sounding pretty upset. You ask her what happened, “Did you lose a ‘soufflé’ today or something?” Not laughing, she starts to tell you she read that a disabled person was discriminated against by a franchise business because the official website does not have an accessibility policy. The disabled person sued and won. You state, “I guess that’s possible, accessibility is grounds under the ADA. But how in the world could a webpage not be accessible to the disabled? Or, how would it be accessible. How does that happen?” Sally replies, “I forgot one thing; the person suing was blind!” “It still doesn’t make sense to me,” you state.
You and Sally will need to look into this because your new business will have a webpage. You need to get ahead of this. See if you can find the case and break it down to make sure your website is compliant with the American with Disabilities Act.
