Registered Accessibility Specialists (RAS) is a professional designation licensed and regulated by the State of Texas to ensure compliance with the adopted state accessibility standards. Qualifications typically include; attending a comprehensive accessibility course conducted by state officials, review and approval of applicable credentials and/or working experience, and passing a RAS examination. Continuing education is typically required yearly as a requirement for license renewal.
Complying with the Americans with Disability Act (ADA), State Mandated Accessibility Standards, and other building accessibility codes and requirements can be a complex and challenging process.
