The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and barrier-free design are related concepts but not the same. The ADA is a comprehensive civil rights law that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities and sets standards for accessibility in various settings. Barrier-free design, on the other hand, refers specifically to creating environments that are accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities, often aligning with ADA guidelines but focusing more on the architectural and design aspects. In essence, while the ADA provides the legal framework, barrier-free design is the practical application of those principles.
