Following accessibility standards and guidelines can be difficult, and it is made more challenging by the fact that many times, you will find conflicting standards that you have to adhere to. Worse yet, on some aspects of accessibility, the codes are completely silent. What do you do in these cases? This course will provide a path to follow when you encounter conflicting or non-existent standards, and cover how to use Universal Design, common sense, and best practices.

2. Determine which codes or standards have precedence over others when they all apply but are conflicting.
3. Identify good design practices that also provide accessibility.
4. List 4 building blocks that they can refer to when the codes are non-existent or silent.
