The ACCESS Wheelchair Watchdog Program - Where is it at today?

People have been asking this question and also wanting to know where it is going.  Mitchell asked this question on Monday, March 21st. 

In my correspondence with Mitchell, I told him I am an architect who for the last 18 years has specialized in making building compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).  ACCESS does detailed ADA audits and detailed ADA planchecks on buildings for building owners.  When ACCESS started this ADA compliance business I thouht all buildngs could be ADA compliant in 5 years.  20 years after the passage of the ADA, in the opinion of ACCESS maybe 90% of buildings are NOT ADA compliant. 

ACCESS looked long and hard at the WHY, and came to the conclusion that building owners "flat-out" did not want to spend the money.  ACCESS has spent the last year reformatting its business plan, and has added a program of direct help to wheelchair users.

When I attended an ADA conference in San Diego in late October of 2010, the main speaker was John L. Wodatch, Cheif, Disability Rights Section, U.S. Department of Justice.  I told John that ACCESS was staffing up and that our plan is to be invovled in the filing of 100 ADA non-compliant cases a week by the end of 2011.  The ACCESS Wheelchair Watchdog program is a team program, and the leader of the team is that wheelchair person.  In fact, witout that wheelchair persont ehre is no building ADA compliance program. 

Working together we will get buildings ADAcompliant, one building at a time.  To all you wheelchair users, come join our program and really get these buildings ADA compliant with the ACCESS Wheelchair Watchdog program.
