Overall, GAO found steady improvement in both accessibility and awareness during the initial 15 months that the act was in effect. However, enough areas of concern remain to suggest a need for continuing educational outreach and technical assistance to business and government agencies covered by the act, as well as continued monitoring by the Congress. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-PEMD-94-14D/html/GAOREPORTS-PEMD-94-14D.htm GAO/PEMD-94-14D https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-PEMD-94-14D Letter Report GAO/PEMD-94-14D; Americans With Disabilities Act: Effects of the Law on Access to Goods and Services; Handicapped persons Disabilities or handicaps Civil rights Compliance Federal legislation Government facilities Service industry Retail facilities Building codes
