Accessibility and Accommodations: Creating Employment Opportunities.
Gregory, Martha Wille, Ed.
This training manual is intended to aid in the design of physical environments to make them accessible to individuals with all kinds of disabilities. Three separate sections each contain a training agenda, learning objectives, workshop content (with side notes to the trainer in italics), overheads, and handouts. Preliminary information includes module purpose and overall learning objectives, a module outline, materials needed for the workshop, and adaptations for individuals with disabilities. The first content section is on public policy. It considers, first, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), including its definition of disability requirements concerning employment, state and local government, and public accommodations. It also describes Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and gives ADA accessibility guidelines. The second section deals with steps needed to determine accommodations. These include analyzing requirements, consulting with the individual involved, and identifying possible accommodations. The third section looks at types of accommodations, organized according to the categories of visual, auditory, physical, or computer-based adaptations. (DB)
