ADA Compliance Consulting
(Hearing Impaired)
What is the ADA
The Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 is the most
far reaching disability rights law ever passed. In its five sections
(or Titles), it provides civil rights protection to individuals with
disabilities in the areas of employment, state and local government
services, public accommodations, and telecommunications.
How
can you comply with the ADA?
Complying with the ADA means taking steps to ensure
programs and services are available to all citizens. Of particular
importance are access to buildings, services and communications. Up
to the passage of ADA legislation, persons with disabilities
were routinely denied access solely because of their disability.
What does the ADA require
The ADA requires that employment opportunities,
programs, services and facilities be available to all persons
regardless of their disabilities. As part of this process,
employers, public facilities and local governments are to undertake
a Self Evaluation and then develop and implement a Transition Plan.
