ADA Training: Continuing Education

ACCESS does ADA training for management people as part of their continuing education in which the client shows they are really concerned about having their buildings ADA compliant.  It will also help their attorney with any ADA lawsuits by defusing the negligent issue in ADA lawsuits that we see today.  There were two high points in the 4-hour training seminar. 

1. The most important sentence in all of the ADA:

• No individual shall be discriminated against on the basis of disability in the full and equal enjoymentof the goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, or accommodations of any place of public accommodation by any person who owns, leases (or leases to), or operates a place of public accommodations.

2. ADA Litigation has two tracks:

• By the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and they are required to litigate from their standard.
• By a person handicapped in Federal Court and they will be litigating from the Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board (Access Board) using the ADA & ABA Accessibility Guideline; Final Rule of July 23, 2004 with an effective date of September 21, 2004.

These were highlighted during our June 1, 2011 Accessibility / ADA Training Seminar for the Sky Harbor International Airport in the City of Phoenix, Arizona.
