You ask her what happened, "Did you lose a 'Soufflé' today or something?"

A disabled person sued based on the denial of access to the company’s website and won! You state, "I guess that’s possible, denial of accessibility is an established legal ground to sue under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). But, how in the world could a webpage not be accessible to a disabled person? Or, for that matter, how would it be accessible? How does that happen?"

The reason for the violation was how Dunkin Donuts website has ignored the American Disabilities Act (ADA) (42 U.S.C. §12188) because of not having made the platform functional to screen-reading applications for all the disabled blind individual. Under that same Act, businesses better consider its websites accessible also to impair on personal machines, notebooks, tablet devices, mobile phones as well as other platforms. Some other infringement would be that of public housing, that comes within Title III of that same Act, who allows corporations to develop "reasonable modifications" to any ordinary methods of communication within the service of disabled individuals. Thus it demands that staff select the most suitable precautions to interact efficiently with clients with visual, auditory and talking impairment.
