Proactive Access is a consulting firm specializing in accessibility within the construction industry. Certified Access Specialists (CASp) are experts in ADA compliance and California accessibility standards. A CASp Inspector provides business owners with information about the accessibility requirements relevant to their establishments. Businesses that obtain a CASp Report gain certain legal protections that reduce their risk of facing ADA lawsuits. "CASp" stands for Certified Access Specialist, and this program was established following the enactment of California Senate Bill 1608 in 2008. SB 1608 aimed to assist California business owners dealing with an increase in ADA lawsuits. Consequently, California began certifying accessibility professionals known as Certified Access Specialists (CASp). To earn the CASp designation, individuals undergo rigorous assessments by the Division of the State Architect to prove their understanding of state and federal accessibility standards in construction. The primary function of a CASp Inspector is to assess compliance with accessibility standards in existing facilities. After conducting a CASp Inspection, the Certified Access Specialist produces a CASp Report that outlines their findings. This confidential document serves as the basis for a business's strategy to eliminate barriers. As a business progressively addresses these barriers, overall accessibility improves, leading to a reduced risk of ADA lawsuits.
