About the Training

The ADA requires that employers provide accommodations for applicants and employees with disabilities in order to remove workplace barriers to provide equal employment opportunity. For many employers understanding when and how they must comply can be, at times, complex.

Developing effective policies & procedures and best practices can assure full compliance as well as helping management successfully respond to reasonable accommodation requests and needs resulting in creating a fully productive work environment for all employees.
