The best advice I can give you is for you to go to the source; the ADA Information line at http://www.ada.gov/infoline.htm. For general ADA information, answers to specific technical questions, free ADA materials, or information about filing a complaint. You can also call 800 - 514 - 0301 (voice), 800 - 514 - 0383 (TTY)
Good luck,
