DESCRIPTION:What's New with the ADA in 2016: State and Local Government (Mo
 rning) and Employment (Afternoon) - West Springfield MA\n\nDate: Tuesday\,
  July 12\, 2016\nEvent Type: Conference\nLocation: West Springfield Public
  Library\nStreet: 200 Park St.\nTime: 8:45 am-4:00 pm\n\nThe ADA for Local
  Governments (8:45 am-12:00 pm) - Stacy Hart\, ADA Trainer for the New ADA
  Center\n\nThe ADA has been in effect for over 25 years\, and many people 
 are still confused about what the law requires. Can a monkey be a service 
 animal? A miniature horse? What would you do if someone asks for the plann
 ing committee meeting to be scent-free? Do all playgrounds need to be acce
 ssible? Who decides when a request is an “undue burden” for the munici
 pality? You think the town completed a transition plan and self-evaluation
  in 1993\, does the town need to conduct a new one? Does the town’s webs
 ite have to be accessible and what does that mean? Does every public build
 ing have to accessible? We will address these items and more. We will also
  review the Department of Justice’s settlement agreements with municipal
 ities including requirements to provide “auxiliary aids and services\,
 ” such as sign language interpreters\; responding to Telecommunications 
 Relay Service phone calls\; and notifying the community of their ADA right
 s and the local government’s ADA obligations. There will be plenty of ti
 me for your questions.\n\nThe ADA and Employment (12:45 pm-4:00 pm) - Rit
 a DiNunzio\, ADA Trainer for the Massachusetts Office on Disability\n\nMan
 y people with disabilities work or would like to work but may need some su
 pport. The ADA has been in effect for over 25 years\, and many people are 
 still confused about what the law requires. In this training\, we will cov
 er who is a person with a disability- Are people who have obesity covered?
  What about people with substance abuse problems? We will discuss how to h
 andle questions from other employees when they see another employee gettin
 g “special treatment” and how to recognize a reasonable accommodation 
 request – Must the employee use the words “reasonable accommodation”
  or can the request be in plain English (or another language)?  Other iss
 ues include: May a person who has a disability be terminated from employme
 nt because of poor job performance?  What about disability-related behavi
 or that violates code of conduct policy? Now that Massachusetts has a medi
 cal marijuana law\, must an employer permit employees with disabilities to
  have marijuana at work? There will be plenty of time for your questions.\
 n\nThis is a free training open to the public.\n
