The group that may be particularly disadvantaged due to failure to comply with accessibility standards is persons with disabilities. Accessibility standards are designed to ensure that individuals with disabilities have equal access to facilities, services, and information. When these standards are not met, individuals with disabilities may face significant barriers that hinder their ability to participate fully in society. This can affect their access to public spaces, transportation, employment opportunities, educational resources, and healthcare services.

In contrast, individuals with high income, senior citizens without disabilities, and students enrolled in educational programs may not face the same level of disadvantage when accessibility standards are not complied with. High-income individuals typically have more resources to overcome barriers, while senior citizens without disabilities do not require specific accommodations. Similarly, students enrolled in educational programs may have alternative means of accessing resources or support that do not hinge on strict adherence to accessibility standards. Therefore, persons with disabilities are the most directly impacted group when such standards are not followed.
