Welcome to our new home page!

We are now the Accessibility Professionals Association (APA)! 
APA (formerly TRASA) has a new look and a new name but remains an association of professionals focusing on accessibility in the built environment. We are the premier provider of Continuing Education (CEU) for Registered Accessibility Specialists (RASs) in Texas and offer quality training on the Texas Accessibility Standards (TAS), ADA Standards and other current and upcoming accessibility codes and standards for RASs, architects, designers, engineers, contractors, building owners and other professionals. We welcome any professional interested in accessibility to our organization and trainings. We are a registered CE provider with TDLR and the AIA. Our membership is open to any interested person in Texas, the U.S. or even across the globe, and we welcome diversity in all aspects of our organization.

2012 Texas Accessibility Standards

As of March 15, 2012, the 2102 Texas Accessibility Standards (TAS) , will be enforced in TX. This document contains scoping and technical requirements for accessibility to sites, facilities, buildings, and elements by individuals with disabilities. The requirements are to be applied during the design, construction, additions to, and alteration of sites, facilities, buildings, and elements to the extent required by regulations issued by  the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation under the authority of Texas Government Code, Chapter 469.  These standards are intended to be consistent to those contained in the 2010 Standards  of Accessible Design.
