ADA signs are so called as the Americans With Disabilities Act, which was signed into law in 1990, requires signage with braille and visible markings of a minimum size in all public spaces. All ADA signs are Wayfinding signs, although Wayfinding signs without the requisite braille and markings are not considered ADA signs. 
For this discussion, we will refer to all Wayfinding signs as ADA signs.
ADA signs are generally made of acrylic, and include raised dots, which are either dropped into place or stacked in the correct arrays through a process similar to 3D printing. ADA signs can be very simple and
inexpensive, ranging from standard brown single layer rest room signs, or can be quite ornate. More ornate ADA signs can include multiple name slots, photos, multiple layers of acrylic, different shapes and contain the company’s logo. Indeed, ADA signs can provide branding opportunities.
Business customers in large office buildings, while sometimes requiring many ADA signs, often do not have great variations in the kinds of signs. Although each sign is different, the signs are generally for conference rooms and restrooms, so there’s little variation. Schools, especially large high schools, have many rooms that serve different functions. In addition to classrooms, schools have cafeterias, athletic complexes and field houses, band rooms, libraries, bookstores, and performing arts centers to name a few. These signage projects can be quite complex.
Heartland Signs and Graphics of Mt. Pleasant, WI, specializes in handling these complex ADA projects.

rehearse walk throughs of all parts of the building. It’s our goal to ensure that there are virtually no opportunities to get lost.” 
Peter continues: “We pay painstaking attention to the proofing process, and communicate thoroughly with our customers about each individual sign to ensure the project’s complete success.”
