The ADAAG (Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines) specifically concentrates on ensuring that individuals with physical disabilities can access and utilize facilities and services. This includes designing spaces that accommodate non-ambulatory individuals who require wheelchairs or other mobility aids, as well as semi-ambulatory individuals who may have limited mobility but are still able to walk to some extent.

In contrast, while individuals with mental impairments are recognized in the broader scope of the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) for protection against discrimination, the ADAAG standards primarily address physical accessibility issues related to the built environment. This means that aspects such as building entrances, pathways, restrooms, and other physical structures are the core focus of these guidelines, rather than considerations explicitly for mental impairments. Thus, the involvement of individuals with mental impairments falls outside the primary scope of ADAAG standards.
