Assistance from ADA Centers

Take advantage of disabilities organizations in our community and on the regional and national level that have export knowledge of ADA requirements and the needs of individuals with disabilities. Involving the disability community in decision making and learning from their feedback is an important part of the movement toward the highest level of inclusion. Your regional ADA Center, a part of the ADA National Network, is an excellent resource. These Centers can provide facility review assistance and awareness training for staff.
