The checklist covers different types of disabilities. I think it should also include a question about the presence of accessible signs.

I would agree about the need for a question about accessible/alternative signage for people with disabilities. I would also include in the 'air quality' question something about temperature and the options for adapting it for personal needs. I would also include a question about safety precautions (grab bars in restrooms, handrails along walls, well-marked steps and curbs in and around the building, etc.).

"Hiring Americans with disabilities is not only the right thing to do — it is the smart thing to do. As our country becomes part of an increasingly worldwide economy, skilled workers are in greater demand than ever. And the technological revolution of the last fifteen years has given us unprecedented ways to incorporate the talents of all members of our society into the workforce."
