Why Does Your Organization Need ADA Training?
ADA training is essential for organizations that serve people with disabilities. The ADA requires organizations to provide a level of accessibility that is equivalent to that of “normal” public access. This means that an organization must provide a variety of accommodations, including accessible customer service, transportation, communication, and facilities.
ADA compliance can be costly, but it is worth it to avoid lawsuits and ensure that all of your customers can fully participate in your organization. To ensure that your organization is compliant, start by reviewing the ADA Standards for Accessible Design. Once you have a good understanding of the standards, you can start to implement specific accommodations.
Some common accommodations include:
-Making materials and products available in a variety of formats, including audio, text, and tactile formats
-Providing braille and large print materials
-Creating signage that is accessible and informative
-Providing wheelchair-accessible entrances and exits
-Making sure communications devices are accessible
If you are not sure if your organization is ADA compliant, contact an ADA compliance specialist. They can help you to identify any areas that need improvement and provide you with a comprehensive plan for ADA compliance.
