2015 ADA Update: A Primer for State and Local Governments<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Department of Justice has published a new technical assistance document, ADA Update: A Primer for State and Local Governments, to help State and local government officials understand how title II of the ADA applies to their programs, activities, and services.<\/p>\n

This 16-page illustrated guide addresses general nondiscrimination requirements, such as provisions relating to program accessibility, service animals, communicating with people with disabilities, other power-driven mobility devices, and policies and procedures. The document also addresses how the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design apply to the built environment, including existing buildings and facilities, new construction, and alterations.<\/p>\n

To find out more about the ADA, visit http:\/\/www.ADA.gov<\/a> or call the Department’s toll-free ADA Information Line at 1-800-514-0301 or 1-800-514-0383 (TDD).<\/p>\n
