The ADA has been in effect for over 25 years, and many people are still confused about what the law requires and the ADA definition of disability. Can a monkey be a service animal? A miniature horse? What would you do if a student asks for the classroom to be scent-free? When students ask for reasonable modifications, who pays for it - the student or the organization?

The second webinar will address these topics :

• How to arrange for sign language interpreters
• Requesting reasonable modifications through the interactive process and what constitutes an undue burden
• Program and facility accessibility
• Administrative requirements
• Identifying a lead staff person (aka ADA Coordinator)
• Developing and posting notice
• Developing and posting grievance procedure
• Conducting a self-evaluation and transition plan
• The resources and services provided by the New England ADA Center

Come with your questions!
