Abstract

Do you know your obligations as a small business owner, a professional with an office open to clients or even as a manager of a non-profit with a facility used by the public? Do you think your building is “grandfathered,” exempt because it is quite old, or historical, or only the landlord’s concern? If so, you may be in violation of the ADA and not know it. This web cast is aimed at you, and giving you an overview of your responsibility running business open to the public, or leasing space to other business operators. The session will include a visual tour of essential accessibility concerns, an overview of simple to tools to assess basic accessibility of your facility, and review of tax programs to make this more affordable for many small businesses.
