Hello!

 

Please see below an announcement from the U.S. Department of Justice regarding a new website covering the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). This site contains very useful and informative materials for employees, employers, businesses and government entities navigating topics such as accommodations and requirements.

 

The new page can be found at The Americans with Disabilities Act | ADA.gov

 

Take care!

Last week the U.S. Department of Justice announced that it has launched a new and improved version of its Americans with Disabilities Act website, ada.gov. The updated version of the website is designed to more effectively serve the public and help expand access for people with disabilities. The website works well with mobile devices, includes easy-to-use navigation tools, and is written in plain language. More information is available here. To find out more about the ADA, visit ada.gov or call the Justice Department's toll-free ADA information line at 1-800-514-0301 (voice) or 1-833-610-1264 (TDD).
