GetBraille.com – Ensuring Accessibility Under California’s Unruh Civil Rights Act

Understanding California’s Unruh Civil Rights Act

California’s Unruh Civil Rights Act is a powerful piece of legislation that prohibits discrimination by business establishments. While the Act doesn’t explicitly mandate specific accommodations, it requires businesses to provide full and equal accommodations, advantages, facilities, privileges, or services to all persons, regardless of their disabilities. This includes ensuring that individuals with visual impairments can access and enjoy the services offered by businesses.

At GetBraille.com, we specialize in helping businesses comply with the spirit of the Unruh Civil Rights Act by providing accessible materials and signage that enhance the experience of visually impaired customers and clients.
