One suggestion is to let the furniture vendor tell you what is required to
make the workstation furniture ADA compliant.  There are specific
guidelines, but all the furniture vendors are familiar with them. We have
found that you need to go a little further than that.  Like remembering to
leave room for a guide dog or human reader or assistant.  The ALA has a list
of workstation guidelines that are helpful.  If you want to talk about all
this you can call me at 215 686-5353.
