What is the purpose of the "Wheelchair Watchdog"?

Access has given the disabled wheelchair individual the name "Wheelchair Watchodg" because they are disabled and watchdog indicates they have expereinced a building that was not ADA accessible and they want to do something about that building to make it ADA accessible, which gives the "Wheelchair Watchdog" standing in Federal Court where the ADA non-compliant complaint is filed. 

The ACCESS "Wheelchair Watchdog" program starts with a detailed ADA audit, followed by a set of architectural/engineering drawings called the ADA retrofit permit set, then the drawing sets are ADA plan checked for ADA compliance and finally those drawings are given to an ADA contractor for a cost estimate.  Upon completing of the ADA retrofit constuction the building has a final ADA audit and issued a certificate of ADA compliance.  Therefore, the purpose of the "Wheelchair Watchdog" is to get building ADA compliant, one building at a time for that wheelchair person and for all disabled person that will follow.
