        "text": "ADA compliance refers to specific legal standards set by the Americans with Disabilities Act, primarily for public and commercial spaces, ensuring access for people with disabilities. Universal Design, however, is a broader concept focused on creating environments and products that are usable by all people, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or specialized design. While ADA compliance is a baseline for public access, Universal Design aims for broader usability and aesthetic integration for everyone in any space.",
