Accessibility Abbreviations and Acronyms

So. Many. TLAs (Three Lettered Acronyms). This guide may help demystify some of it.

ACA: Affordable Care Act or Accessible Canada Act depending on context. “The ACA must comply with the ADA not the ACA” is actually a legit sentence.

ACR: Accessibility Conformance Report. VPATs are now part of ACRs.

ADA: Americans with Disabilities Act. NOTE: No apostrophe, Americans is plural, not possessive.
