Are you confused about where to go for information about the ADA and your place of employment? Does a Google search for "ADAAA" leave your head spinning? How do you decide what is accurate and reliable information? Over the past 19 years a plethora of on-line and print resources have been made available to address the requirements of the ADA, but it can be overwhelming to decipher what is good information. Join us as we review the various resources available and discuss the practical approach to compliance and accommodations for people with disabilities.

Learning Objectives:
