This is a form that can be filled out in order to both evaluate businesses and provide necessary information to anyone who is concerned about accommodations. I created this form for the purpose of creating an accessibility review blog for my local area, but I would love if other people were able to use it.
Feel free to use and spread.
@accessibilityfails This blog was largely responsible for my coming up with the idea
