» Your Comments on the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
Published 05/20/2006 | Community Living | Unrated
The national network of ADA & IT Technical Assistance Centers, also known as DBTACs, seek your comments on experiences with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Your feedback on experiences in employment, building access, or access to public services will help the Centers identify training gaps and issues needing increased technical assistance. Tell us what has worked for you, what barriers you still encounter and how the ADA has made a difference in your life. The form is short and simple. Comment only on topics of interest or concern to you. Comment as often as you like on any of the several categories. There is no identification necessary or asked other than the state in which you live to help assure we are reaching all parts of the country.
