Accessibility statement for Reverse Your Thinking® Mortgage
We hope that each person who visits the Reverse Your Thinking® Mortgage website will feel at home and find the information useful. A Little History Discrimination on the basis of a person's ability has been illegal since the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was a landmark piece of legislation that protected individuals from discrimination based on race, religion, gender, and national origin; the ADA took this protection one step further by requiring businesses to make "reasonable accommodations" for workers who needed them.
This legislation was a ground-breaking development that prepared the way for the general adoption of wheelchair ramps, accessible bathroom facilities, and a range of other equal-access amenities that are now commonplace in the vast majority of American businesses. In spite of this, legislators in 1990 had no way of knowing that the internet, which was still in its infancy at the time, would soon become an integral component of conducting business and a vital foundation for international commerce. The connection between the ADA and websites has been controversial and frequently perplexing at times. Even after many amendments in an era that was substantially more web-oriented in 2008, the Americans with Disabilities Act does not expressly address compliance with internet regulations. Because the Act does not provide comprehensive coverage in this area, it is typically up to the courts to decide whether or not ADA standards apply to websites, as well as how those requirements should be applied.
