Architectural Barriers Act (ABA)

Per the Architectural Barriers Act (ABA) of 1968, [PDF - 917 KB] Indian Health Service (IHS) facilities must be accessible if they are designed, built, altered, or leased with federal funds. The Access Board has accessibility standards and enforces the ABA.

Complaints about the inaccessibility of IHS facilities should be made directly to the U.S. Access Board. Please visit the U.S. Access Board for more information.
